Iran attacks the largest U.S. overseas base, possibly a symbolic attack

Hours before the missile was fired at Qatar, Iran had predicted an attack. On Monday night, Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at )Al Udeid Air Base( at Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for a U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities this weekend. Udeid Air Base is one of the largest overseas bases of the US military and the core of the US military in the Gulf region. It is understood that at least 10 missiles were fired in the direction of Qatar, and at least one missile was fired at the US military base in Iraq, and the Qatari Foreign Ministry has issued a statement saying that there are no casualties.

The New York Times reported that Iran coordinated tonight's missile attack with Qatar in advance and gave advance notice to reduce casualties. Officials say Iran needs to strike back at the U.S. symbolically, but in a way that allows all sides to have exit lanes, similar to the 2020 case, when Iran first warned Iraq after the U.S. assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and then fired ballistic missiles at Iraq's Assad air base.

84% of Americans are concerned about the escalation of the US-Iran conflict, and the Arab League supports Qatar.

The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps )IRGC( issued a statement indicating that they launched a powerful missile attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council also released a statement confirming the attack and stated that "the number of missiles launched this time is the same as the number of bombs used in the U.S. attack on Saturday."

The statement emphasizes that the target of this attack is far from Qatar's urban facilities and residential areas, and this action does not pose any threat to our friendly brother nation Qatar and its noble people. Qatar is a mediator in diplomatic negotiations in the Gulf region, and it strongly condemns Iran's attack, calling for a return to the negotiating table. This retaliatory action by Iran will determine how Trump will respond and whether the United States will further intervene in the war between Israel and Iran.

The Arab League stated that the alliance's position is to support Qatar in the face of attacks from Iran. Saudi Arabia also issued a statement siding with Qatar. A Reuters poll indicated that 84% of the American public is concerned about the escalation of conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
