Iran fires on U.S. air base as Israel broadens strikes on Tehran
ISTANBUL — Iran fired missiles toward an American air base in Qatar on Monday, retaliating for U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities with a less-than-furious attack that caused no casualties and seemed intended to head off a more vicious American response.
In an initial statement, Iran's armed forces hailed the assault on the al-Udeid Air Base as 'decisive' and said it sent a message the country would answer any 'aggression.' Qatar condemned the attack, calling it a 'flagrant violation of sovereignty' and said the missiles were intercepted. Several gulf states closed their airspace after the attack, amid uncertainty about whether more would follow.
