In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran has reportedly launched six ballistic missiles targeting US military installations in Qatar and Iraq. The strikes come in direct retaliation for the recent US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, according to regional sources.
Loud explosions were heard over the Qatari capital, Doha, following the missile assault on the Al Udeid Air Base, a key US-run installation. The Qatari government has since confirmed the attack, condemning it as a “flagrant violation” of its sovereignty.
Initial reports indicate that the strike caused significant alarm in both Qatar and Iraq, although the extent of casualties or damage remains unclear as of press time. The situation continues to develop, with heightened military readiness observed across the Gulf region.
This latest exchange raises serious concerns about further escalation in an already volatile region, with global leaders urging restraint and calling for an immediate de-escalation of hostilities.
