Qatar Condemns Iranian Missile Strike on Al Udeid Air Base
A spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an immediate statement strongly condemning the attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the Al Udeid Air Base.
The spokesperson described the strike as a blatant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and asserted that Qatar reserves the right to respond appropriately and directly in proportion to the seriousness and intensity of the attack.
According to the statement, Al Udeid had already been evacuated as a precaution under security protocols. The Qatari government confirmed that all necessary steps were taken to ensure the safety of Qatari personnel and allied forces stationed at the base. It further stated that Qatar’s air defense systems successfully intercepted the incoming Iranian missiles.
This official response comes in the wake of Iran’s missile attack targeting Al Udeid, a major US airbase in Qatar. Qatar’s swift evacuation and effective defense measures are being viewed as part of broader efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region.
