BREAKINGBREAKING,
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially confirmed on Monday that it had launched a missile attack against Qatar’s American al-Udeid Air Base.
Tasnim referred to the “Annunciation of Victory” as the operation.
Over Doha, Qatar’s capital, were flames, which were visible on Monday. Initial theories didn’t immediately identify whether this was missiles or an air defense system.
Additionally, loud explosions could be heard.
Prior to this statement, Qatar’s US and UK embassies had issued statements warning citizens there to seek shelter there until further notice. As part of the precautions being taken to ensure the safety of residents and visitors, Qatar claimed to have temporarily restricted its airspace.
Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain are the nations that have the most US troops. These facilities are crucial hubs for regional logistics, intelligence gathering, and force projection for both air and naval operations.
The Middle East’s largest military base, Al Udeid, was established in 1996. The base can accommodate almost 100 aircraft and drones, covering a 24 hectare (60 acres) area. This base, which houses about 10,000 soldiers, has been the US Central Command’s (CENTCOM)’s front headquarters during operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.
