Iran strikes US al udeid military base in Qatar

Iran has launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday

 

Qatar confirms the attack on the US-run Al Udeid base, calling it a “flagrant violation” and says it reserves the right to respond directly – it adds all the missiles were intercepted and there are no reports of casualties

 

The country has temporarily closed its airspace and US and UK citizens have been advised to shelter in place

 

In Washington, Donald Trump and defence officials are holding a Situation Room meeting, two days after the US launched massive strikes against three nuclear facilities inside Iran

 

It comes as Israel it has been targeting Tehran with “unprecedented force”, including attacks on “access routes” to the Fordo nuclear site and Evin prison.
