Al Jazeera reports, “Iran says it launched an attack on United States forces at Al Udeid Air Base. Loud explosions, flares over Qatar’s capital, Doha.”

 

“Many analysts think this could be a kind of choreographed attack – that is, the US was informed in advance, just like in 2020 when Iran retaliated for the killing of General Qasem Soleimani, and Iran was reportedly aware in advance of the attack on Fordow. But these are just speculations,” adds AL Jazeera.

 

The Times of Israel reports, “Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson says no one was injured in the Iranian attack on the Al Udeid Air Base near Doha. The base, which houses thousands of US troops was evacuated ahead of time, Majed al-Ansari says, adding that the missiles were intercepted by Qatari air defenses.
