On June 23, 2025, Iran launched missiles at the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Al Udeid Air Base, located in Qatar. This attack came shortly after the United States conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The missile strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
According to reports, Iran fired 14 missiles, of which 13 were intercepted by U.S. air defenses, and only one missile hit its target. President Donald Trump confirmed the incident and stated that Iran gave advance warning, allowing U.S. forces to prepare and avoid casualties. No injuries were reported.
Qatar strongly condemned the attack, calling it a blatant violation of its sovereignty, and temporarily closed its airspace as a precautionary measure. The U.S. State Department advised American citizens in Qatar to shelter in place amid rising concerns over regional security.
The attack occurred just days after the U.S. targeted sites related to Iran’s nuclear program, leading to international concerns about possible wider conflict. Experts are watching closely as tensions between Iran and the United States continue to build.
The situation remains fluid with both diplomatic and military responses expected in the coming days. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more latest updates.
