Iran fired six missiles at US military bases in Qatar on Monday in its first direct strike after the US bombed Iranian nuclear sites. The attack marked the launch of Iran’s new military operation, Besharat Fatah. Loud blasts were heard across Doha, causing panic. Qatar quickly closed its airspace, and embassies told people to stay indoors. The US base at Al Udeid, the largest in the region, may have been targeted. There are no confirmed reports of damage or casualties yet. The strike signals a dangerous escalation, with rising fears of a full-blown conflict in the Middle East. (PC: AFP)
