        "summary": "Tensions in the Middle East escalated following Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps attack on a US airbase, in response to recent US strikes. Kuwait activated its air defence systems amid hostile threats, while US sanctions on Iran's Strait of Hormuz Authority triggered a 3% surge in oil prices. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that diplomatic talks with Iran would be given time to succeed, though military options remain on the table.",
        "content": "<p>Kuwait activated its air defence system today, Thursday, 28 May 2026,\nin response to what it described as \u201chostile missile and drone threats,\u201d\naccording to a post on the military\u2019s X account. CNBC reported on\nThursday that the military did not specify the origin of the attack but\nadded that the sound of explosions was from air defence systems\nintercepting incoming threats. This development comes as tensions in the\nMiddle East escalated following a new US strike on Iran overnight. A US\nofficial told MSNBC on Wednesday that its forces had carried out a new\nattack targeting military sites believed to pose a threat to US troops\nand commercial maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement\npublished on the state-run Tasnim News Agency, Iran\u2019s Islamic\nRevolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had attacked a US airbase after\nUS strikes occurred outside Bandar Abbas airport. \u201cIf it happens again,\nour response will be tougher,\u201d said the IRGC. On Wednesday, the US\nDepartment of the Treasury announced new sanctions against Iran\u2019s Strait\nof Hormuz Authority, a government body regulating transit through the\nStrait of Hormuz by charging ships. The Treasury stated that anyone\ncooperating with the authority could be supporting and receiving\nservices from the IRGC, ultimately benefiting from this \u201cextortion\neffort\u201d and thus facing sanctions risk. Meanwhile, oil prices rose over\n3%, with international Brent crude and US WTI futures increasing. The\nescalation follows US Secretary of State Marco Rubio\u2019s statement on\nWednesday that the US would give talks with Iran \u201ca full chance to\nsucceed.\u201d Speaking at a Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump,\nRubio said negotiations had made some progress, but Trump prefers\ndiplomacy with other options available if they fail, likely referring to\nrenewed military strikes.<\/p>",
