US EditionGulf countries coming under attack from Iran warn of retaliation
Iran launched about 40 ballistic missiles targeting Gulf states hosting US bases, killing one civilian and causing material damage, officials said.
- On Feb 28, Iran fired missiles at several Arab Gulf cities, causing blasts that shook windows and forced residents to shelter during Ramadan.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared a regional operation in response to U.S.-Israeli strikes, stating `All occupied territories and U.S. bases have been struck`.
- Qatar's defence ministry said al-Udeid was a target but interceptors stopped the threat, and falling debris caused material damage and one civilian death in Abu Dhabi.
- Qatar and other Gulf states denounced the attacks and vowed their right to self-defence as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the UAE condemned the strikes and closed airspace while education authorities shifted schools online from Sunday.
- Analysts say the barrage heightens the risk of a wider regional war, and Oman, which had acted as a mediator, was reportedly not struck amid the strikes.
