Iran Launches Missile Attack on U.S. Military Base

Iran has fired at least six ballistic missiles at a U.S. base located in Qatar, resulting in explosions heard in the Qatari capital, Doha. This was reported by Reuters news agency.

According to the agency, the consequences of the Iranian strike, especially if there are casualties among Americans, could be pivotal in this conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump has urgently convened a meeting with his national security team. Reuters reports that a political source in Iran has indicated that an attack on U.S. bases could occur in the coming hours.

Special attention is being paid to the Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, which is the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East. The Al Udeid base plays a crucial role in the operations of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and is used by the air forces of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Qatar.
