Iran has reportedly launched six missiles targeting US military bases in Qatar and Iraq, in what is being described as retaliation for the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
Explosions were heard over Doha following the missile strike on a US base in Qatar.
Qatari authorities have confirmed the attack on the US-operated Al Udeid Air Base, describing it as a “flagrant violation.”
This development comes amid escalating tensions, as the US urges China to use its influence to prevent Iran from shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
The strike marks a significant escalation in hostilities following recent US military actions against Iranian nuclear infrastructure.
