Iran Attacks US Military Bases in Qatar and Iraq; No Casualties
Iran fired a series of missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq on June 23. The strikes followed US air attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities just days earlier.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the operation under the name “Annunciation of Victory.” They launched missiles at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar and a US base in Iraq. According to Iran, it deliberately targeted areas far from civilians and matched the number of missiles to bombs dropped in the US strike.
Qatar intercepted the missiles using air defenses and confirmed there were no injuries. Authorities also stated that Iran gave advance warning, which allowed for a quick response.
