Iran Fires Missiles Toward US Bases in Qatar
Explosions were heard over Doha as Iran launched six missiles that reportedly targeted American military bases in Qatar. A journalist from Axios cited an Israeli official confirming that the attack aimed at United States installations. A Western diplomat told Reuters that Al Udeid Air Base, the largest American base in the region, had faced a credible threat from Iran since midday Monday. In response, Qatar temporarily shut its airspace to protect civilian and military traffic. Both American and British citizens in Qatar received emergency advisories urging them to stay indoors until further notice from security authorities.
Trump Confirms Strikes on Key Nuclear Facilities
President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday that American forces had launched targeted strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The military hit sites in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan in what the administration described as a preventive measure against further nuclear escalation. Speaking at a White House briefing, Trump said, “Take away the power of the regime if it refuses to engage in dialogue.” The strikes followed rising tensions between Iran and Israel during the second week of armed confrontations. All three locations have long attracted international scrutiny for their roles in uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel development.
Tensions Spread Across Middle East After Missile Exchange
Despite missile exchanges, the movement of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz has continued with minimal disruption, although maritime threat levels remain high. In Jordan’s capital, a drone crash caused material damage and increased regional security concerns. Israeli defense forces issued a public warning advising residents in Tehran to avoid any locations connected to weapons storage. France condemned an Israeli strike that hit Tehran’s Evin prison. Italy opposed taking any collective EU action against Israel. German officials reported no immediate threat to national security but said they remain on high alert for further developments.
