Iran has launched multiple missiles at U.S. forces stationed at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, confirming the start of “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory.” The strikes follow President Trump’s celebration of what he called a “bullseye” on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. Explosions were reported over Doha just before the Iranian announcement, and officials now confirm at least 10 missiles were fired. The situation continues to unfold.

In a statement from Iran’s Mission to the United Nations, Tehran blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “hijacking U.S. foreign policy” and accused Washington of dragging itself into war “merely to safeguard Netanyahu.” The statement went further, saying the U.S., Israel, and European allies “will bear full responsibility” for any civilian casualties and destruction in Iran. Diplomacy, Iran’s UN mission claimed, was never a real offer, just “a deceitful ploy.”

The U.S. Embassy in Qatar had issued a shelter-in-place advisory for American citizens hours before the missile strike aimed at Al‑Udeid Air Base. The White House and Pentagon have stated they are monitoring the situation closely. U.S. bases across the Middle East, especially Al‑Udeid, have been identified by Iran as potential targets following its threat to retaliate for strikes on its nuclear facilities . As of now, there have been no reports of U.S. casualties.
