Iran fired missiles at the US air base in Qatar to retaliate against Trump's air raids on three of its nuclear facilities over the weekend. Qatar said that missiles targeting Udaid, the largest US military base in the Middle East region, have been intercepted, and there were no casualties. The Udeid base is the headquarters of the US Central Command in the Middle East region and is responsible for overseeing US military operations in the Middle East. Qatar is across the sea from Iran and is rich in natural gas resources. The US has stationed thousands of officers and soldiers in Qatar, but many personnel have already been evacuated in advance. Crude oil futures fell 6% in response. People familiar with the matter said that Iran fired at least six missiles at the US military base in Qatar. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain pre-closed their airspace. According to another source familiar with Western intelligence assessments, Iran's missile attack on Qatar has been anticipated in advance by the US and its allies. Earlier in the day, British and US diplomatic agencies recommended that citizens in Doha “stay in a safe place for the time being until further notice.”
