Iran Targets US Air Base in Qatar with Missiles in Retaliation for Airstrikes

Iran Targets US Air Base

Iran launched a missile attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military facility in the Middle East, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. Reports indicate Iran fired six to ten short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, with Qatar’s air defenses successfully intercepting them, resulting in no U.S. casualties or significant damage. Iran coordinated the attack with Qatar in advance, and the U.S. was also notified, allowing for base evacuation and minimizing harm. Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of its sovereignty but noted it posed no threat to its people. The strike, named “Operation Besharat Fatah” by Iran, was described as a symbolic response, with the number of missiles matching the bombs used in the U.S. strikes. Explosions were heard over Doha, and Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain temporarily closed their airspace. The U.S. is monitoring the situation, with President Trump in the Situation Room.web:0,1,4,5,7,8,10,13,15,16,17,19,21,23post:0,1,2,4,5
