Middle Eastern countries are raising their level of preparedness and issuing warnings to their populations as a deadline set by US President Donald Trump for negotiations with Iran approaches.
In Kuwait, the Interior Ministry has asked citizens and residents to stay at home from midnight until 6 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities describe the measure as “preliminary,” but it directly coincides with the deadline announced by Trump, which expires at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
The US president's statements have significantly increased tension in the region, as he warned that after this deadline there could be dramatic developments, saying that "an entire civilization will die."
In parallel, similar security measures have been taken in Bahrain. The United States Embassy in Manama has asked all US government employees to shelter in place.
" We recommend that all Americans in Bahrain do the same until further notice ," the official statement said.
The embassy advises citizens to stay in safe environments and avoid standing near windows, reflecting concern about a possible military escalation.
The latest measures show that countries in the region are preparing for emergency scenarios, while the situation remains unclear and any development after the ultimatum expires could have immediate consequences for regional security.
