During the night, alarm sirens sounded in Kuwait and Bahrain due to an escalation of tensions between Iran and the United States. Iran launched several ballistic missiles, which were intercepted or disintegrated in the Persian Gulf, without hitting the intended targets. Tehran claims that the attack was directed against the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. In the context of these tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that discussions with Iran are proceeding as planned, but an official mentioned that Iran has interrupted communications, conditioning the continuation of negotiations on a ceasefire in Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reaffirmed the commitment to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. In the U.S. Congress, Democrats criticize the handling of the conflict, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio states that there are possibilities for peace, but excludes lifting the sanctions imposed on Iran.
