Iran Fires at US Base in Qatar — Missiles Intercepted

But a White House official told Axios that Trump's goal now is to end the war, and he plans to make that clear to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We want a deal and don't want any more war," the official said.

"I can confirm that Al Udeid Air Base was attacked by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles originating from Iran today. At this time, there are no reports of U.S. casualties," a U.S. defense official told Axios.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayotallah Ali Khamenei posted an image of a burning American flag on X after the Iranian attack, writing: "We will not surrender to anyone's aggression. This is the logic of the Iranian nation."

Iran's Supreme National Security Council released a statement earlier claiming the number of missiles fired at Qatar was equal to the number of bombs the U.S. used in its strike on Saturday — signaling a desire to de-escalate.

"The base that was targeted in the attack by the powerful Iranian forces was far from urban facilities and residential areas in Qatar," the statement said.

"This action did not pose any threat to our friendly and brotherly country, Qatar, and its noble people."

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also released a statement claiming it had launched a "devastating and powerful missile attack" against Al Udeid.

"This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the US terrorist army in the West Asia region," the IRGC statement said.

Iran "will not leave any attack on its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and national security unanswered under any circumstances," the statement stressed.

The Foreign Ministry of Qatar issued a statement saying Qatari air defenses "thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles," with no injuries or deaths reported.

Qatar, which frequently acts as an intermediary for diplomatic talks in the region, strongly condemned the Iranian attack and called for a return to the negotiating table.
