Overview
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ten missiles at Al Udeid in Qatar and a US base in Iraq in a reprisal for US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
- Qatar’s air defenses intercepted all incoming missiles after evacuating Al Udeid, and no casualties or significant damage were reported.
- US and regional allies have elevated military readiness, with the Department of Homeland Security issuing a high threat alert for potential Iranian-backed actions.
- Italian military personnel in Qatar and Iraq were relocated before the strike, and Italy has bolstered security at domestic US-linked sites.
- President Donald Trump welcomed Iran’s advance notice, suggesting the measured response could open a path to peace negotiations.
