The advisory comes after Iran fired ballistic missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq in retaliation for US strikes on Tehran’s nuclear sites.
Iran launched six missiles toward US bases in Qatar Monday evening, following an earlier report that Tehran was preparing to do so.
Iran’s top security body issued a statement saying it has used the same number of bombs that the US used when striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
Several explosions were heard over the Qatari capital, Doha, a Reuters witness said, following Tehran’s threats to retaliate against US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
