On June 23, 2025, explosions were reported over Doha, the capital of Qatar, following threats by Iran to retaliate against recent US strikes on its nuclear facilities. In response, the US embassy in Qatar issued a warning for American citizens to shelter in place as a precautionary measure.
Due to safety concerns, Qatar temporarily suspended air traffic to protect residents and visitors. Iran’s top security body confirmed that its armed forces used an equivalent number of bombs as those deployed by the United States in their strikes. However, Iran clarified that its actions did not pose a threat to Qatar, which it described as a “brotherly” nation.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson reassured the public about the situation, stating that the country’s security services remain vigilant and prepared to protect the nation. Officials have stressed that security within Qatar remains stable despite the recent escalation.
This incident occurs amid larger regional tensions involving the US, Iran, and Gulf countries. The situation is fluid as all parties continue to monitor and respond accordingly.
