On Monday night, missiles were seen flying in the sky of Doha, the capital of Qatar and the voices of loud blasts were heard. News agency Reuters confirmed this. The Iran’s army has claimed that it has carried out a ‘powerful missile attack’ on the US, the largest military base of Qatar, al-Udid airbase. This action of Iran has affected aircraft in surrounding countries.
On Sunday morning, American bombers dropped 30,000 pounds of bunker-bomb bombs at Iran’s underground nuclear bases. This action of Iran is being seen as instead of American attacks. However, Qatar’s Defense Minister told Al Jazira that Qatar’s Air Force successfully intercepted most missiles.
