Iran has launched a missile attack on a US airbase in Doha, Qatar.
Explosions have been heard over Doha, Qatar. Iranian state media have announced Iran has begun its “mighty and victorious” response to US strikes. The state-run Tasnim agency has said that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched missiles at US bases in Qatar and Iraq.
Earlier this evening, there were reports that Iran was preparing to strike US bases in the Middle East, with Qatar closing its airspace. There have also been reports of sirens and air defences being active at the US Al Udeid Air Base – the largest US military base in the Middle East – in Qatar. A senior US official has said that the White House and the Department of Defense are aware of, and are closely monitoring, potential threats to the US air base. US President Donald Trump is reportedly in the Situation Room in the White House.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp has said in a statement in a “clear and explicit” message to the White House that “[Iran] will not leave any attack on its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security unanswered under any circumstances”.
The missile strike comes just after Qatar temporarily closed its airspace, with flights to Doha being diverted.
