Iran bombs the US Al Udeid base in Qatar, and defenses intercept the missiles.

Iran bombed the US Al Udeid airbase in Qatar on Monday evening in an operation dubbed "Bashaer Al Fath," in response to the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Doha announced that its air defenses successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said in a statement, "Following the US aggression against our nuclear facilities, we launched a devastating strike against the US Al Udeid base in Qatar."

Iranian television reported that Operation Bashair al-Fatah targeted Al Udeid Air Base and other US bases in Iraq.

Axios quoted US sources as saying that Iran launched six missiles towards Al Udeid base.

Meanwhile, Iran's National Security Council said, "Our operations are free of any threat or danger to the friendly and sisterly state of Qatar and its people."

Defenses counter the attack

For its part, the Qatari Ministry of Defense announced that "Qatari air defenses intercepted a missile attack targeting Al Udeid Air Base."

"Thanks to God, the vigilance of the armed forces, and the precautionary measures, the accident did not result in any deaths or injuries," she said.

The Ministry affirmed that the airspace and territory of the State of Qatar are safe and that the Qatari Armed Forces are always on alert.

Meanwhile, a US official told Al Jazeera that no US forces in Qatar were injured in the Iranian missile attack.

Qatar condemns the attack

The State of Qatar expressed its strong condemnation of the attack, describing it as a flagrant violation of Qatar's sovereignty, airspace, and international law, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner proportional to the nature and extent of the blatant attack and in accordance with international law."

The statement explained that Qatari air defenses "thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles," and that a statement would be issued regarding the circumstances of the attack.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry called for an immediate cessation of all military operations and a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue.

She pointed out that Al Udeid base had been evacuated earlier in accordance with security and precautionary measures.

Israel has been waging a war against Iran since June 13, targeting nuclear facilities, military and civilian sites, and assassinating senior military leaders—including the commander of the Revolutionary Guard and the Chief of Staff—and prominent nuclear scientists.

After days of uncertainty regarding the possibility of direct US intervention in the war alongside Israel, the United States launched strikes on Iran's main uranium enrichment facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—early Sunday morning.

Iranian Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi announced in a televised address on Monday that his country would respond "decisively and decisively" to the US strikes.
