Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has confirmed that Iran launched multiple missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar. It comes days after President Donald Trump confirmed America bombed Iranian nuclear sites.
Roughly 10,000 American troops are stationed on the Al Udeid Air Base. The U.S. military has not reported any casualties in this attack.
President Donald Trump has not yet responded to this attack but previously said any retaliation from Iran would be “met with force.”
The Qatari Ministry of Defense stated that it successfully intercepted the missile attack targeting the base.
Qatari officials also responded to the attack on social media.
“The State of Qatar strongly condemns the attack that targeted Al-Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” said Dr. Majed Al Ansari, an advisor to the Qatari prime minister. “We consider this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations Charter. We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law.”
