Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in a written message read on the state television, said that the United States and Israel seek to bring the Islamic Republic to "its knees" and urged Iranians to be united. "The enemy's blind plan, after the imposed war, the economic pressure, and the political and propaganda siege, is to create divisions and disintegration in order to compensate for military defeats and bring the nation to its knees," said Khamenei. He said that everyone 'devoted' to Iran should strive to safeguard the "unity" of the nation.
Earlier in the day the US Central Command said that Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces. In a post on X, the CENTCOM said, "At 10:17 p.m. ET on May 27, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces. This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz."
