In a significant escalation of Middle Eastern tensions, Iran launched an attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This move came following US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, marking a new chapter in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
According to US officials, no casualties resulted from the Iranian attack, yet the event underscores the volatile situation that has united allies and adversaries alike in the region. Al Udeid, a central hub for American military operations, has been instrumental during past conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
