Amid rising tensions, Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior asked citizens and residents to remain in their homes as a precautionary measure from midnight Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday, in preparation for the possible impact of Iranian threats or U.S. responses.

Meanwhile, Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense confirmed that it had dealt with 17 hostile drones without any losses and that the armed forces continued carrying out their duties.

In this context, U.S. President Donald Trump warned of the “death of an entire civilization” in Iran if it does not respond to U.S. demands.
