In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Iran has launched a missile attack on the US-run Al Udeid airbase in Qatar. The strike came just days after American forces carried out major attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities on Saturday.
Qatar swiftly confirmed the attack, describing it as a “flagrant violation” of its sovereignty. While the country emphasized that all the missiles had been successfully intercepted, it also warned that it reserves the right to take direct action in response.
Despite the intensity of the moment, the Pentagon has reassured the public that there are no reported casualties among US personnel.
Meanwhile in Washington, former President Donald Trump and senior defence officials have gathered in the Situation Room, seeking a strategy amid rising fears of broader conflict. The meeting follows Friday’s aggressive US assault on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites.
The situation continues to unfold as Israel claims it is hitting Iran with “unprecedented force.” Targets reportedly include critical infrastructure near the Fordo nuclear site and the infamous Evin prison, signaling an intensified effort to disrupt Tehran’s power network.Let me know if you’d like a version tailored for blog publication, radio news, or social media.
