Iran Launches Missile Attack on U.S. Base in Qatar, Region Braces for Escalation
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a missile strike on a U.S. military base in Qatar on Monday. This attack follows Iranian leaders' pledges of retaliation for recent U.S. strikes on their nuclear facilities.
Explosions were reported over Doha, Qatar's capital, approximately 25 miles from Al-Udeid Air Base. This base serves as the forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command and houses around 10,000 American troops. The strike prompted a U.S. Embassy warning for citizens in Qatar to seek shelter, and Qatar's government responded by closing its airspace and suspending flights as a precautionary measure.
Neighboring Bahrain also suspended air traffic and sounded air raid sirens, urging residents to find safe havens, as concerns mounted across the Middle East regarding the potential for a broader conflict.
