Iran launches missile attack on US base

Iran fired ballistic missiles at America’s largest and most fortified military base in the Middle East.

Iranian missiles were fired at the Al Udeid military base in Qatar in response to US strikes against Tehran’s nuclear facilities yesterday morning.

Footage showed explosions in the sky above Doha as US and Qatari defence systems worked to intercept the missiles. Air defence systems were also activated at the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq, though it was not targeted by Iran.

Tehran, which dubbed the operation “Promise of Victory”, confirmed it had targeted Al Udeid with “devastating and powerful missile attacks” and vowed to “collapse” American military bases in the region.

However, three Iranian officials told the New York Times they had coordinated its strikes with Qatar in a bid to minimise casualties. Donald Trump was also aware of the attack plans in advance, Western officials said.

The Pentagon confirmed there were no casualties in the attack and that there was no impact on the base, which is home to US Centcom’s HQ and British military personnel on rotation.

Anticipating an attack, the US moved a large number of its planes before the attack and no British soldiers are currently stationed at the base.
