美国国务院针对中东局势恶化向美国公民发布安全警报，涉及巴林、以色列、伊拉克、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋共10个国家[1]。该警报要求上述地区的美国公民做好撤离准备[1]。
特朗普表示美军将对伊朗进行"非常猛烈"的打击，直到伊朗"无法再承受"[1]。随后伊朗对科威特和霍尔木兹海峡地区进行了无人机和导弹攻击[1]。美国中央司令部称美军上周三进行了"大规模轰炸"[1]。伊朗无人机击中科威特多个关键设施，包括北部一座政府建筑[1]，造成设施损坏但无人员伤亡[1]。英国皇家海军报告一艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡附近被击中，该区域另有爆炸发生[1]。
海上运输也受到冲突影响。胡塞军事发言人叶海亚·萨里表示，8艘沙特船只改道绕过非洲好望角以规避封锁[1]。此外，仅28%的美国人赞成特朗普对中东冲突的处理方式[1]。
The US State Department has issued security alerts to American citizens across ten Middle Eastern countries, instructing them to be prepared to leave the region [1]. The warning covers Bahrain, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates [1].
The alert follows an escalation in military tensions, with President Trump declaring that US forces will conduct "very forceful" strikes against Iran until the country "cannot take it anymore" [1]. In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks on facilities in Kuwait and near the Strait of Hormuz, causing damage to multiple infrastructure targets but resulting in no reported casualties [1]. The US Central Command confirmed that American military forces conducted "major bombing" operations the previous Wednesday [1]. The British Royal Navy reported that an oil tanker was struck, with additional explosions occurring near the Strait of Hormuz [1].
The escalation has also affected regional shipping patterns. According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sare, eight Saudi vessels have altered their routes to circumvent the Cape of Good Hope to avoid a blockade [1]. However, the military actions have not garnered broad domestic support in the United States, with only 28 percent of Americans approving of Trump's handling of the Middle East conflict [1].
