Iran's missile strike on U.S. military base in Qatar
Iran launched a missile strike on a U.S. military base located in Qatar, escalating regional tensions and prompting strong condemnation from Gulf states and Qatar.
Iran fired 19 missiles targeting a U.S. military base in Qatar, with one missile hitting the facility. Initial reports indicate no casualties, but the incident has sharply heightened regional tensions. Qatar's Foreign Ministry condemned the attack as a violation of regional norms and an unacceptable escalation. The Gulf Cooperation Council convened an emergency meeting to address the crisis, while Qatar continues diplomatic efforts with Egypt and the United States to support a broader ceasefire and de‑escalation in Gaza. The Qatari Emir received a call from Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who reportedly expressed regret over the strike and acknowledged it had inadvertently impacted Qatari territory.
