Iran has announced that it launched a number of missiles at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, Qatar, equivalent to the number of bombs the United States dropped on its nuclear facilities. The attack took place on Monday night (June 23), targeting the base where U.S. warplanes are stationed.
According to the Associated Press (AP), Iran’s missile barrage was intended as a signal to de-escalate tensions, suggesting that if the U.S. halts its attacks, Iran will also cease retaliatory actions. Iran’s Security Council stated that the Al Udeid base was targeted because it is located away from residential areas. Iran emphasized that the attack was not directed against Qatar and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining warm and historic ties with the country.
Qatari authorities reported no damage or casualties resulting from the missile strikes. Meanwhile, an Israeli official claimed that Iran fired a total of 10 missiles at the Al Udeid base.
This incident has further heightened tensions in the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States in the Middle East. Diplomatic efforts to manage the situation are reportedly underway.
