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.

America’s Trump administration announced sanctions on three Chinese companies on May 8. These companies are accused of providing satellite images to Iran, which were used in attacks on US military and allied targets in the Middle East. This action is said to be related to the incidents that took place during Operation ‘Epic Fury’.

The US State Department said, “Providing Iran with satellite images of US bases in the Middle East is a threat to the security of US and allied troops. Targeting US troops and allies will be responded to.”

Which companies were banned?

The scope of the sanctions includes Hangzhou-based company Meientropy Technology Company, also known as MizarVision. America alleges that this company had released open-source satellite photos, which contained information about American military activities during Operation ‘Epic Fury’. Apart from this, Beijing-based ‘The Earth Eye’ company is accused of providing satellite images directly to Iran. Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company has been accused of collecting satellite images of American and allied military bases at the request of Iran.

Allegations have already been made

America told that sanctions have already been imposed on ‘Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company’. At that time, there were allegations that the company had provided satellite images to Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen to target American military bases.

Action also taken against Iran’s defense export center

The US State Department has also imposed sanctions on ‘Mindex’, the export arm of Iran’s Defense Ministry and Armed Forces Logistics Ministry. The State Department said, “The United States will continue to take action to hold accountable China-based entities that are supporting Iran, and to ensure that Iran is unable to rebuild its sensitive military and nuclear programs after Operation ‘Epic Fury’.”

Crackdown on people associated with drone and missile programs

Meanwhile, the US Treasury Department has also announced sanctions on 10 institutions and individuals. They are accused of helping Iran in providing weapons and raw materials, which were being used in drone and ballistic missile programs. The scope of these sanctions includes citizens and companies of China, Iran, Belarus and United Arab Emirates.

America warned of further action

The US Treasury Department said that Washington is committed to breaking the procurement network that supports Iran’s military programs. The department said that action will continue against foreign organizations that promote Iran’s military activities in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions. The US also said that these new sanctions are a step towards further strengthening the ‘snapback’ sanctions imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council last year.

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.
