Iran declares war upon USA
Iran launched missiles at US bases in Qatar on Monday, in response to the American strike on its nuclear sites over the weekend.Here's more on the developing issue:
Iran says it launched missiles at the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and a base in Iraq. However, a US military official told Reuters that no Iranian attack was recorded at any US base other than that in Qatar.
A short time later, Qatar announced that it had intercepted all the missiles that were launched. [...]
White House sources told CNN that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Caine were in the Situation Room during the attack.
Iran had been threatening retaliation against U.S. bases in the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S. attack this weekend on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.Even before this, Iran was giving signs they wanted to attack USA sources as much as Israel. Now, we must hope serious action will be taken against the ayatollahs for real. Thank goodness nobody was hurt in the attempted attack on the bases at Qatar.
The U.S. had moved air and naval assets out of harm’s way in anticipation. [...]
President Donald Trump had spoken to American troops at the base during his Middle East visit earlier this year. The U.S. moved air assets away from the base last week, apparently in anticipation of an attack (or retaliation for a U.S. strike on Iran).
Likewise, the U.S. Navy had dispersed ships that had been docked in Bahrain, minimizing the risk of damage.
