Several explosions heard over Doha amid threats of Iranian retaliation against US military base
Several explosions heard over Qatar capital Doha, says witness
EXPLOSIONS have been heard over Doha after Iran launched a missile attack on a US base in Qatar.
Western officials told Axios that Iran had fired six missiles toward at least one US base in the Gulf country.
Officials said earlier that the Al-Udeid base, located just outside of Doha, was facing a “credible threat”. Trump administration officials are convening in Washington DC.
The base is home to US Centcom’s HQ and British military personnel also serve there on rotation. However, many planes have been moved in recent weeks, satellite imagery shows.
