Iran has launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting U.S. military installations in both Qatar and Iraq, in what it described as a response to recent escalations in the region.
The Qatari government confirmed the attempted strikes, stating that its missile defense systems successfully intercepted and neutralized the incoming projectiles. Authorities also revealed that U.S. troops had already been evacuated from the targeted base in Qatar prior to the attack.
Meanwhile, reports from Iraq indicate that several explosions were heard near American military positions, though the extent of damage and casualties remains unclear as investigations continue.
The situation has heightened tensions across the Gulf region, with international observers warning of the potential for further escalation.
This is a developing story.
