🚨BREAKING: Iran Hits Largest US Base In Persian Gulf With Retaliatory Missile Attack
Al-Udeid airbase in the Qatari capital was struck by at least three ballistic missiles in response to Washington's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced late on 23 June the launch of “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory,” targeting Al-Udeid US Airbase in Qatar in retaliation for Washington's unprovoked attack on Iran's nuclear program.
"The message of this decisive action by the nation's sons in the armed forces to the White House and its allies is clear and explicit: 'The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on Almighty God and its faithful and renowned people, will under no circumstances leave unanswered any aggression against its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security,'" the IRGC says in a statement.
“The American military bases and mobile targets in the region are not a point of strength, but rather a great weakness and the Achilles' heel of this warmongering regime,” the statement highlights.
According to local reports, at least three Iranian ballistic missiles directly hit Al-Udeid air base, Washington's largest military base in the Persian Gulf.
Iran's National Security Council revealed that the number of missiles launched in the operations “is equal to the number of bombs used by the United States against our nuclear facilities.”
Al-Udeid serves as the main headquarters for the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and hosts nearly 11,000 American troops, along with more than 100 aircraft, including strategic bombers, tankers, and surveillance assets.
Nearly all US military aircraft and non-essential personnel were evacuated from Al-Udeid base earlier this week.
In response to the Iranian retaliatory attack, Doha issued a statement of condemnation and called it “a violation of Qatar's sovereignty, airspace, and international law.”
“We, in the State of Qatar, reserve our right to respond directly … to this blatant aggression in accordance with international law,” Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said.
Defense Ministry officials also confirmed that Qatari air defenses attempted to intercept the Iranian missiles.
Minutes before missiles were launched, Qatar and the UAE shut down their airspace. Air raid sirens were also activated in Kuwait and Bahrain, where Washington maintains other military bases.
