Iran’s Revolutionary Guards fired missiles at Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base, citing threats to Iranian sovereignty.
In a dramatic escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) executed a powerful missile attack on Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base, a key US military hub in the region. The strikes, conducted under the directive of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and commanded by the Central Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, targeted the base in retaliation for perceived violations of Iran’s sovereignty. Visual evidence captured interceptors lighting up the night sky above Lusail Stadium, the iconic venue where Lionel Messi lifted the World Cup trophy in 2022, underscoring the strike’s proximity to civilian landmarks.

The IRGC issued a stern statement, declaring, “The message of this response to the White House and its allies is clear and unequivocal: Iran will not leave unanswered any attack on its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national security under any circumstances.” The attack marks a bold assertion of Iran’s new policy, with the IRGC emphasizing, “We reiterate our warning to Iran’s enemies: the era of unresponded attacks is over.” The strikes aim to deter further aggression, signaling Iran’s readiness to defend its interests with force.
