Tehran: Iran has begun an operation against a US base in Qatar, according to the Iranian state TV.
The US has been tracking multiple missiles fired from Iran towards US military bases in Qatar and Iraq, according to officials familiar with the matter.
Iranian military officials and members of parliament had vowed that the US will pay a price for its strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. US President Donald Trump has hinted to the possibility of regime change in Iran in a social media post on Sunday.
Qatar and the UAE closed their airspace, due to monitoring preparations and movements indicating an Iranian attack on American military bases.
Qatar confirmed that Iranian missiles launched toward U.S. Al Udeid Air Base were successfully intercepted.
There are no reports of any damage or injuries.
"We reassure that Qatar’s air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles."
"We call for the immediate cessation of all military actions and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue."
