Qatar Blasts Iran Over Missile Strike On U.S. Base – Calls It A Violation Of Sovereignty | N18G

On Monday, Qatar strongly condemned Iran for launching missiles at the Al Udeid air base, which hosts U.S. forces, calling it a blatant violation of its sovereignty and international law. The attack was in retaliation for a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry emphasized its right to respond in accordance with international law and urged all sides to return to peaceful negotiations. Iran signaled the strike was limited and not intended to escalate tensions. According to U.S. President Donald Trump, Iran warned the U.S. in advance, and no casualties occurred. He dismissed the attack as a "very weak response." Qatar reported intercepting all but one missile, with no confirmation of damage from the one that got through. The incident highlights growing volatility in the region, with Qatar positioned as both a host of U.S. forces and a nation calling for diplomatic solutions to avoid further conflict.
