Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, responding to U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. No casualties were reported, and U.S. and Qatari officials had prior warning of the attack.
- 14 missiles were fired by Iran; all but one were intercepted by Qatari air defenses
- A single missile struck a building near the base with no injuries or military damage
- The IRGC called the strike “devastating,” while Iranian leaders framed it as proportional
- Trump convened his national security team at the White House during the strike

Iran claims the number of missiles matched the bombs used in the U.S. strike — signaling a potential bid to contain escalation.
