Here, America has conducted army operations near Hormuz.

Kuwait’s Health Minister has said that at least 63 people have been injured in this attack. These include airport employees and passengers. According to Kuwaiti officials, Iran’s drone and missile attack has caused damage to airport facilities and diplomatic missions. One person has died among them. Many others have been injured. Flights at Kuwait International Airport have been temporarily stopped.

Will the ceasefire be broken?

The Civil Aviation Authority later announced that Kuwait Airways was resuming flights from Terminal 4 after assessing the damage and implementing safety measures. The recent attack has also made the ceasefire in April tense. Oil prices increased by more than 2 percent. There remains uncertainty around Hormuz.

Bahrain’s army said that it intercepted three missiles and several drones. This action took place at a time when Iran claimed that it had targeted the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. Besides, an airbase and helicopters located in another regional country were also attacked.

The US military said that two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait either fell before reaching their targets. Or it broke apart in the air. Other ballistic missiles have also failed to hit their designated targets.

US President Donald Trump threatened to leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organization i.e. NATO on April 1, 2026. Even before this he had given threats many times, but this threat was not implemented. Why? Because leaving NATO is not just a press conference or tweet for America, but America can also lose the image of a global power country. Let us understand in the explainer why America cannot leave NATO?

Question 1: What is the process of leaving NATO membership?
answer: The birth of NATO in 1949 was a bitter compulsion born out of the debris of World War II, founded on the original North Atlantic Treaty. The process of exiting NATO is also mentioned in its Article 13. For:

• 20 year term: The treaty came into force on 24 August 1949. Therefore, after 1969, any member country got the right to exit.
• It is necessary to give notice: The country has to give written notice of denunciation to the US government (Treaty Depositary) only one year in advance.
• America’s role: America tells this information to all other member countries.
• Out after a year: Exactly one year after giving the notice, the country completely separates from NATO. No further approval or debate required.

This article is very simple and clear. There are no complex conditions or veto power in this. Just one year’s notice is enough.

Question 2: Then America can also leave NATO under Article 13?
answer: No. It is not so easy for America to leave NATO that Trump threatened and walked out. America itself has made it difficult. In 2023-24, the US Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 1250A. It was signed by former US President Joe Biden. It is written in it that the US President cannot suspend, terminate, deny or withdraw from NATO. To leave NATO, America needs 2/3 majority of the Senate or a separate law of Congress.

No fund can be used for this work. This law was specifically made to stop Trump. Congressional Research Service (CRS) Report R48868 states that this is the first law that prevents the President from withdrawing from a treaty. If Trump alone gives notice, there will be a constitutional crisis and the matter may go to the Supreme Court. That means Trump will not get rid of NATO just by making threats.

Question 3: Does America need NATO? If not then why?
answer: Foreign affairs expert and JNU professor Rajan Kumar says that NATO is not only the security of Europe but also the basis of America’s global power projection…

• US Military Base: About 1 lakh American soldiers are deployed in Europe. These bases cannot operate without NATO. If America leaves NATO, logistics, refueling and operations will become expensive and difficult.
• Intelligence Sharing: NATO’s global nervous system is intelligence sharing. Local intelligence provides intelligence about countries like Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. The Atlantic Council and the Belfer Center say America cannot do this alone.
• Mutual coordination: Many things including America’s F-35, ammunition and fuel are operated from other countries through NATO. Without NATO, America will have to fight alone.

According to Fair Observer’s report 2025, without NATO, America’s political weight in Europe will decrease. NATO makes America a European power. NATO’s share in US defense resources is only 15%, but its strategic value is very high.

Question 4: Despite this, what will happen if America tries to withdraw from NATO?
answer: Both parties in Congress (Democrats and Republicans) consider NATO the basis of American security. It is almost impossible for the withdrawal bill to pass in the Senate. Still, if America tries to leave, first of all a constitutional crisis will arise, then its global power will weaken, NATO will survive but will become weak…

• If Trump gives information under Article 13, it will be a direct violation of the law. The US Congress will immediately protest, hold hearings, try to stop funds or threaten impeachment.
• The matter may go to the Supreme Court. The court will rule on the basis of the Youngstown decision (1952) that the President cannot go against the law of Congress.
• There will be a big impact on the American economy. Military bases, trade and arms sales will be affected. The report of Rand and Wilson Center says that due to reduction in security promises, bilateral trade could fall by $ 450 billion.
• Global credibility on America will decrease. Allies will consider America as an ‘unreliable partner’. The rift has already increased after the Iran war. This could break the trans-Atlantic alliance.

At the same time, it will also affect NATO. NATO treaty will continue among the remaining 31 countries. Europe has already increased defense spending. Now European countries will rapidly build their defense infrastructure, but America’s lack of nuclear defense, command structure and modern technology will be felt.

Question 5: So are Trump’s claims of leaving NATO hollow?
answer: Rajan Kumar says, ‘Trump will continue his threats and efforts to withdraw from NATO. He can reduce funding and make statements against NATO, but will not be completely out.

NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance established on 4 April 1949, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. This is a collective security system, under which an attack on any one of the 32 member countries is considered an attack on all. Its purpose is to protect the independence and security of member states through political and military means.

Amidst the ongoing widespread protests in Iran, there is once again acute tension in the relations between America and Iran. On Friday (January 2, 2026), the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament warned in clear words that if America took any aggressive step, the American military bases and forces present in the region would be considered legitimate targets. This statement came at a time when US President Donald Trump had threatened to intervene in the ongoing protests in Iran.

According to Fox News report, this statement of the Iranian Parliament Speaker came just hours after a warning in which a senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had said that if America interferes in Iran’s internal affairs, anarchy could spread in the entire region. Iran believes that external interference will worsen the situation. Earlier, President Trump had issued a strong statement saying that if Iranian security forces use lethal force against peaceful protesters, then America can intervene. This statement has further increased the already existing tension between the two countries.

Violence in protests, 7 people dead so far

There have been reports of violent clashes during the ongoing protests in Iran for the past few days. At least 7 people have died in the clash between security forces and protesters. This movement started from Sunday and gradually spread to many parts of the country. The root of the protests is the deepening economic crisis. Common people are extremely angry with inflation, unemployment and falling value of the national currency. The situation has become such that people’s anger is clearly visible on the streets.

Economic crisis became the main reason for protest

This protest was first seen in the capital Tehran, where traders and shopkeepers raised their voice against the economic policies of the government. The huge fall in Iran’s currency Rial, weak economic growth and continuously rising prices have increased the problems of the common people. According to government data, the inflation rate reached 42.5 percent in December. The value of Riyal against the Dollar has fallen so much that the value of one American Dollar has become approximately 14 lakh Riyal. Due to this the purchasing power of common citizens has been badly affected.

President’s soft language, but limited options

Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian has shown a relatively soft stance towards the protests. He publicly acknowledged that if people’s livelihood problems were not resolved, it would have serious moral and social consequences. In a program broadcast on state TV, he said that the problems of the public cannot be ignored. However, the President also admitted that in the current economic situation the government has limited options. The path of improvement is not easy due to currency depreciation and international pressures.

Government warning and strict stance of law

Iran’s Prosecutor General has said that the government considers peaceful economic protests as legitimate, but any kind of violence or attempt to spread insecurity will not be tolerated. He warned that strict action would be taken in such cases.

Us Military Deployment in Indian Ocean: The United States has deployed its warship fleet on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, around India. This information has been revealed by an satellite imagery issued by Open-SOS Intelligence analyst MT Anderson. America’s airbase was present earlier on this island, but the recent deployment has made it the center of strategic activities again.

Which war aircraft were deployed?
Satellite imagery has revealed that the US Air Force has deployed a large deployment of state -of -the -art war planes on the Diego Garcia Military Base. There are four b-52 bombers aircraft, which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons and attacking a very long distance. In addition, six F-15 fighter jets have also been deployed, which are counted in aircraft with ability to establish dominance in the air and immediately deal with any contingent threat. Along with these, six KC-135 tanker aircraft are also present on this base, which work fueling in other aircraft in the air during air missions, which increases the fire and operational capacity of the US Air Force manifold.

Why is Diego Garcia important?
Diego Garcia Island is very important strategically. It is located about 1800 km south of India, 4700 km south-east from Iran and about 3000 miles from China. The island is part of the Chagos Islands, which was given by Britain to the US in the 1960s. The US established a military base on the island in the 1970s to challenge the strategic lead of Soviet Russia.

This military base has more than 3600 meters long runway, which is fully capable of operating heavy bombers and cargo aircraft. There is also a port of deep water here, which provides the facilities necessary for the stoppage of nuclear submarines and naval ships.

American eye on Iran and China together
This military deployment on Diego Garcia reflects the US dual strategy. On the one hand, it is a sign of deepening tension about Iran. Recently, even after the struggle between Israel and Iran, there may have been a ceasefire, but the situation in the middle East still remains very sensitive. The US fears that Iran may again intensify nuclear enrichment and that is why diplomatic dialogues have come to a standstill. Diego Garcia has previously displayed the military capability to attack the US Iran with a long range and this time also has been fully prepared for a possible response.

On the other hand, America’s concern about increasing stress with China is also deep. China’s aggressive military activities in the Indo-Pacific Ocean region and its claims in the South China Sea are constantly creating a situation of conflict. In view of its military exercises and maritime security partnerships with American allies such as Japan, the Philippines and Australia, the US needed a permanent strategic hideout to control China. Diego Garcia fulfills this need.
