Tensions in the Middle East reached a boiling point as Iran launched retaliatory missile attacks on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. The strikes follow recent American air raids on Iran’s nuclear facilities, sparking fears of a wider regional conflict.

In a dramatic escalation of the Iran–US conflict, Iran has fired multiple missiles at American military installations in both Qatar and Iraq, according to international media sources. The Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and a second base in Iraq were reportedly targeted with six and one missile respectively.

The attacks come in direct response to recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities. Iran’s military leadership warned that American bases across the region would be considered "legitimate targets" in response.

According to Axios and The Guardian, loud explosions were heard in Doha, leading Qatar to shut down its airspace temporarily. Western embassies advised their citizens, particularly Americans and British nationals, to shelter in place amid the heightened alert.

Meanwhile, the US military has raised its threat level, with reinforcements reportedly deployed to strategic sites across the region. The White House stated that any further aggression would be met with a "more powerful response", signaling the possibility of broader military engagement.

Analysts warn that the current trajectory could drag the entire Middle East into a prolonged confrontation, especially if further retaliatory measures follow. Global markets and political leaders are closely watching the crisis unfold.

With Iran's open retaliation now confirmed, and the US promising a fierce counter-response, the region stands at the brink of a full-scale war. Diplomats are calling for urgent de-escalation efforts as global tensions rise.
