Doha – Reports just reaching Horn Africa News confirm that the Iranian government has launched up to six missiles targeting the U.S. military base in Qatar, specifically the Al Udeid Air Base, which hosts nearly 10,000 American troops.
This base, one of the largest U.S. military installations in the Middle East, plays a vital role in regional air operations, particularly in the fight against extremist groups and strategic surveillance missions.
Preliminary reports indicate material damage and injuries among some of the personnel stationed at the base, although U.S. officials have not yet officially confirmed the extent of the casualties.
The Iranian government has not yet issued an official statement regarding the attack.
This assault is expected to significantly escalate tensions between the United States and Iran, raising fears of a broader conflict erupting in the Gulf region.
