6:16Now PlayingIran fired missiles at a US air base in Qatar after promising it would respond “proportionately and decisively” to President Donald Trump’s weekend airstrikes on three of its nuclear facilities.
Qatar said the barrage at Al Udeid base — the biggest such US facility in the Middle East — was intercepted and that there were no casualties. Al Udeid is the regional headquarters for US Central Command, which oversees the American military in the region, and is home to several thousand US service-members, though many staff had been evacuated.
Oil prices fell immediately after the attack, with Brent dropping 3.3% to $74.48 a barrel as of 6:10 p.m. The attack included at least six missiles fired toward US military bases in Qatar, according to a person familiar with the matter. The UAE and Bahrain closed their airspace as a precaution. Iran’s missile strike on Qatar was telegraphed and had been expected by the US and its allies, according to another person familiar with western intelligence assessments who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. UK and US diplomatic missions advised Doha-based residents earlier in the day to shelter in place “until further notice.”
Iranian officials also suggested the move had a symbolic element. The number of missiles fired matched the number of bombs deployed by the US, and the Qatar strike “poses no danger” to a “friendly and brotherly country,” the state-run IRNA news agency said.
