Overview

  • On June 23, Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in response to U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities
  • Qatar’s air defenses intercepted the incoming missiles over Doha, and both Qatari officials and the Pentagon reported no casualties or significant damage
  • Iranian state media said the missile count equaled the number of bombs the U.S. used, portraying the action as a deliberate, measured reprisal
  • Reports indicate Iran coordinated with Qatari authorities in advance to minimize civilian risk during the strike
  • The U.S. and Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty and have since engaged in diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation
