ran launched a missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.
The announcement was made on state television as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty and successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression.”
The attack came shortly after Qatar closed its airspace as a precaution amid threats from Iran.

They plan to do piddling crap and get away with it.
extraordinarily bad decision
There is someone painting FAFO on a cruise missile as we speak.
We have 10,000 troops there and hundreds of aircraft.
Operation Iranian Freedom anyone?
WAR!!!
Iran fired 6 missiles at US base in Qatar, apparently intercepted. Sirens blaring at bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, much more at link
Thank you for thread, OP
Anyone, it’s the middle of the night over there?
Looks like a face saving move.
DM: “Aerial defenses were activated shortly after a ‘credible threat’ alert was issued to the Al Udeid base in Qatar, which hosts over 10,000 US troops as well as over 100 aircraft, strategic bombers and tankers.”
Also our base in Bahrain on high alert.
The size and type of attack will reveal if this is a face saving move or something more...also, how we respond...
Six missiles were launched.
That suggests that there are not many launchers left.
I guess they will be resorting to sling shots and sticks in a week or so.
The base was evacuated over a week ago. All aircraft and most personnel are gone.
It’s FAFO Time!!!!
And here’s the escalation. All you war hawks, this is what you were pushing for. Thanks to all of you nuts.
This was a symbolic attack. The target was announced hours in advance, used just a handful of missiles and targeted a base that was very publicly evacuated over a week ago. They also claim to have used the “same number of missiles as the number of bombs dropped on their nuclear facility”.
All you imbeciles who would prefer Iran having nuclear war power are delusional.
Settle down Spaz.👻
I am amazed at how may experts use this forum.
report that there’s no damage and no one injured
our assets were moved away from that base more than a week ago.
They expecting an attack there.
iranian dumbasses have no cards to play.
