Iran is striking back to the U.S. for the hits on its nuclear facilities over the weekend.
The country has launched missiles at an American military base in the Middle East, Axios reported. This includes 10 missiles on the Al Udeid U.S. Air Force base in Qatar.
The attack was confirmed by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, which stated the number of missiles fired Monday is the same as those launched Saturday by the U.S, per Axios.
“The base that was targeted in the attack by the powerful Iranian forces was far from urban facilities and residential areas in Qatar,” the council’s statement said. “This action did not pose any threat to our friendly and brotherly country, Qatar, and its noble people.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it carried out a “devastating and powerful missile attack” on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
“This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the US terrorist army in the West Asia region,” the statement said.
Iran “will not leave any attack on its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security unanswered under any circumstances,” the statement continued.
The Foreign Ministry of Qatar said Qatari air defenses “thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles.”
There were no injuries or deaths reported.
