Day: March 23, 2026
Several powerful explosions and air raid sirens were heard on Monday in Bahrain, marking the first such incidents in the Gulf region since US President Donald Trump announced that talks to end the conflict with Iran were underway, News.Az reports, citing AFP.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry urged citizens and residents to “remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” posting the advisory on social media as authorities monitored the situation.

The incident occurred while Cirstea was serving at 0-3 in the deciding set, having forced a third set against Gauff, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
Chair umpire Jennifer Zhang noticed a fan struggling and quickly stopped play to allow medics to attend.
No further details were immediately available regarding the fan’s condition, and play resumed once the emergency was addressed.

Other spectators in the crowd started shouting out to grab the umpire’s attention, and it worked.
She got down off her chair and told Gauff: “Sorry Coco, we need to check first.” Tournament director James Blake was also seen standing courtside. “On Centre Court, we have a lady passed out in the stands, just behind the first row, across from the chair umpire. She needs a drink or ice towel, anything,” Zhang said over her walkie-talkie.

The draft resolution also calls on Iran to immediately halt all attacks on merchant and commercial vessels and to stop any attempts to interfere with lawful transit in and around the strategic waterway, News.Az reports, citing AFP.
Approximately one-fifth of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz, making its security critical to global energy supply.

The proposed text allows states to act—including within the territorial waters of littoral nations bordering the Strait—to “secure transit passage and to repress, neutralize, and deter attempts to close, obstruct, or otherwise interfere with international navigation.” It also includes provisions for targeted sanctions against those who undermine navigational rights and freedoms.
The resolution’s chances of approval remain uncertain, as the five permanent members of the Security Council hold veto power.
Bahrain, representing Gulf states, recently secured a resolution in mid-March demanding the “immediate cessation” of Iranian attacks on Gulf states and Jordan, reflecting growing regional concern over maritime security.
