Iran fires missiles toward US military bases in Qatar and Iraq

Attacks on Iranian nuclear sites have thrust the US into the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. President Donald Trump warned further US intervention was possible as the world awaits an official response from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Follow live updates.

• Iran’s operation against US base: Iran has launched a “powerful” attack on a US air base in Qatar, the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said. The US is tracking multiple missiles fired from Iran toward US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, according to two officials. • Attack intercepted: Qatar’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses “successfully” intercepted the missile attack targeting the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. No deaths or injuries have been reported. • Response after US strikes: American officials have been preparing for the likelihood that Iran may target US facilities ever since the US struck Iran’s nuclear sites over the weekend. The US military had moved some planes from the Al Udeid base amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, two defense officials told CNN last week. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was attacked “by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles originating from Iran,” a US defense official said Monday. Non-sheltered American planes were moved out of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar last week, according to a satellite image that was taken on June 19 that shows nearly empty tarmacs. This means the planes were moved before Iran launched a missile attack on Al Udeid Monday in response to the US striking its nuclear facilities over the weekend.
