Iran launched missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday in response to US airstrikes on its nuclear sites. According to reports, Iran told Qatar in advance to avoid escalation. It also warned the US through diplomatic channels. Iran said the number of missiles matched the US bombs dropped on Iranian targets. Explosions were heard across Doha. Qatar condemned the attack but said its airspace is now safe. Iran said it targeted bases away from civilian areas and wanted to send a strong message. Another US base in Iraq, Ain al-Assad, was also struck. (PC: X)
