US EditionIranian ballistic missile strikes US military base in Qatar
Qatari air defenses intercepted one missile while a second struck the base, which houses about 10,000 U.S. personnel, with no casualties reported, officials said.
- On Tuesday, an Iranian ballistic missile struck Al Udeid Air Base, where two missiles were launched and one intercepted; Qatar's Defence Ministry said there were no casualties at the base hosting roughly 10,000 U.S. personnel.
- Iranian outlets framed the launches as retaliation for recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on nuclear and missile sites, following the March 1, 2026 strike in Kuwait that killed six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers.
- U.S. officials say integrated air-defence systems, including Patriot missile batteries, have intercepted most threats, though some reports indicate a Patriot at Al Udeid failed to stop a missile; authorities confirmed two Iranian Su-24 aircraft were shot down on March 2.
- Qatar condemned the launches as a violation of its territorial integrity, and its armed forces have reinforced their defensive posture, while the U.S. Department of Defense has not yet issued a detailed response.
- The strike comes amid a wider wave of Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf states hosting U.S. forces, while residents in Doha reported explosions that triggered Qatar's heightened security alerts.
