Iran launched an attack on a U.S. air base in Qatar on Monday evening local time, according to state media. The move comes amid escalations between Israel and Iran and is a retaliation for the U.S. decision to attack Iran’s nuclear sites yesterday. The Pentagon states that the U.S. currently has around 40,000 active-duty troops and Defense Department civilians stationed in the Middle East, with the largest U.S. military site in the region being Qatar’s Al Udeid air base, where some 10,000 troops are stationed. Qatar said it had intercepted the missiles. At the time of writing there had been no reports of casualties and an attack on a second U.S. base in Iraq had not been confirmed. Iran reportedly issued a warning before the offensive.
