Iran launched multiple missiles towards US bases in Qatar and Iraq. This action came as a direct response to President Donald Trump's bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
Reports indicate Iran fired at least 10 missiles. These targeted the United States' largest base in the Middle East and another in Iraq, marking a significant escalation of tensions.
Following the attacks, Bahrain, home to the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters, temporarily closed its airspace. This move mirrored Qatar's earlier actions, which also briefly suspended flights before the strikes.
Qatar condemned the attack on its Al Udeid Air Base, confirming successful interception of the missiles. Critically, no casualties were reported, and Qatar declared its airspace safe again, with no deaths or injuries.
Iran stated the attack in Qatar matched the number of bombs the US dropped on its nuclear sites. This suggests Iran's potential desire to de-escalate the conflict after its retaliatory action.
Interestingly, Iran emphasized targeting bases outside populated areas. State television announced the strikes as a "mighty and successful response" to "America's aggression," accompanied by martial music.
