Iran launches missiles at US military base in Qatar
Iran launched ballistic missiles targeting the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a major US military installation in West Asia. The attack comes in retaliation for the US bombing three nuclear sites in Iran on June 22.
Notably, the Al Udeid base is also home to the Combined Air Operations Centre, which provides command and control of air power across the region, as well as the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, the largest such wing in the world.
The US said no casualties were reported. President Trump had called the response "very weak" and "expected." In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that Iran had launched 14 missiles following what he called the "obliteration" of Iranian nuclear facilities by the US and its allies. Of those, 13 were intercepted and one was allowed to proceed after being assessed as non-threatening.
Qatar condemned the attack on Al Udeid Air Base, but said it successfully intercepted the short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.
