On Monday night (June 23), Iran launched a missile attack targeting the US Al Udeid Air Base located on the outskirts of Doha, Qatar. Qatari authorities confirmed that one Iranian missile struck the base, though no casualties were reported.
According to Qatar, Iran fired a total of 19 missiles, most of which were intercepted. Earlier, a US official had claimed to Reuters that no missiles hit the base, but Qatar’s confirmation contradicts this statement, verifying that at least one missile struck the facility.
US President Donald Trump stated that no American or Qatari citizens were injured or killed in the attack. He further revealed that Iran provided prior warning of the attack, which helped avoid casualties.
Following the incident, Trump called for de-escalation, urging Iran and Israel to return to peace. The Al Udeid Air Base, a key US military installation in the region, remains a critical hub for operations in the Middle East.
