Iran Strikes U.S. Military Bases in Qatar and Iraq in Retaliation for Nuclear Facility Attacks
In a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, Iran has launched missile attacks on U.S. military bases in both Qatar and Iraq, following airstrikes by the United States on Iranian nuclear facilities just hours earlier. The news was first reported by Al Jazeera.
Explosions Rock Doha as Missiles Target Al Udeid Air Base
Multiple explosions were heard in the skies above Doha, the capital of Qatar, with Iranian missiles reportedly targeting the Al Udeid Air Base — one of the largest U.S. military installations in the region.
Simultaneously, another missile strike was reported at a U.S. military base in Iraq, though details remain limited.
U.S. Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Triggers Backlash
On Saturday night, the United States carried out airstrikes on at least three Iranian nuclear sites, marking a severe turn in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. In previous statements, Iran had warned that any direct U.S. attack would receive a “harsh response.”
That response appears to have come swiftly, as Iran officially confirmed its missile strikes, even as neither the Pentagon nor the Qatari government has issued formal statements so far.
Al Udeid Under High Alert; War May Broaden
Security protocols at the Al Udeid base were already heightened prior to the attack, and the latest strikes raise fears that the conflict could draw the United States directly into the Iran-Israel war.
Experts warn that this could mark the beginning of a wider regional confrontation, with global consequences for diplomacy, energy markets, and military strategy.
