Missile attack by Iran on the US base in Qatar || Iran took revenge on America || What happens next?

Assalamu Alaikum. A short while ago, a U.S. base in Qatar was attacked. Iranian missiles entered through Qatari airspace and struck the U.S. base. It is being reported that at least 10 missiles were launched, of which three directly hit the base. The question now arises: why did Iran carry out this attack on Qatar at this moment? Qatar has been one of Iran’s closest allies among the Arab states — arguably the closest one. And now, Iran has launched missile attacks on that very country.

The big questions now are— why were so many missiles launched through Qatari airspace? How effective was Qatar’s air defense system — how many missiles did they manage to intercept?

Through this missile strike on the U.S. base, what message is Iran trying to send? Is Iran looking to escalate this into a full-scale war, committing 100% of its military capability? Or is this strike intended to send a different, strategic message?

If you have answers or insights to these questions, please do share them with us.

Also, during today’s video, during this live broadcast — please let us know how the sound quality is on your end.

To all of you watching this program, this live, a warm welcome and thank you!

Additionally, one of our viewers from Qatar has sent us a video recorded from their home, which shows multiple missiles flying across the Qatari sky.

It’s not just one or two missiles — there are many.

You’ve probably seen some of the video footage. Various reports suggest — some say six missiles were fired, some say 10, others report up to 15 missiles.

The exact number is still unclear, but judging by the videos, it’s certainly not a small number.

Let me clarify something important—

The missiles were not directly launched from Iran. Rather, Qatar’s air defense system actively worked to neutralize those incoming missiles through countermeasures.

So, we can say that Qatar’s air defense system successfully destroyed several of the missiles.

Now the question remains—why did this attack happen?

To better understand this, let’s first take a quick look at what has been happening in Qatar throughout the day. That will give us a clearer picture.

Since this morning, the Qatari government announced the closure of its airspace.

Civilians were instructed to stay indoors.

Government and private offices were closed.

Warnings were issued as authorities anticipated the possibility of a major incident at any moment.

There was already a warning that an attack might happen — which is why Qatar was advised to be prepared, and the U.S. bases were asked to be evacuated in advance.

Why? How? Where did this information come from?

It is now fairly clear — this information came directly from Iran.

Iran had informed Qatar beforehand:

"Brother, you have always stood by us, you have been our friend even during difficult times. But at this moment, we have no other option.

We must strike the U.S. bases located within your country.

Just as the U.S. attacked us, we must respond in kind.

If we limit our response only within Iraq, it won’t be an equal retaliation.

That is why this strike must take place from within Qatar."

"If Iran had carried out this attack in another country—say, the UAE or Saudi Arabia—those countries would have taken it as a direct affront to their national pride and likely retaliated militarily against Iran.

That would have escalated the conflict even further.

That’s why Iran informed Qatar in advance: ‘Brother, I will carry out this strike from your country. Please prepare accordingly, so that the casualties and damage are minimized.’

Now, Qatar is saying: ‘Iran’s strike on our territory is a violation of our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Therefore, we have the right to retaliate against Iran.’

Of course, any country would say: ‘If my land is attacked, I reserve the right to respond.’

But whether Qatar will actually retaliate or not—that remains to be seen.

We know that Qatar has repeatedly said before: ‘We hope there will be a settlement between the U.S. and Iran, between Israel and Iran. We are ready to host negotiations in Doha if necessary.’

Yet today, missiles have been launched from the very capital that was offering to mediate.

Now we wait to see what Iran officially says about this situation."

Statements coming from the Iranian side are essentially saying:

*"I had no other option but to carry out this attack. This counter-attack was necessary.

And for this, I have carried out the strike from the territory of my brotherly nation—Qatar.

To the people of Qatar, I apologize—there may be some temporary difficulties caused.

But let me make it clear—this attack is not aimed at the Qatari people.

The only target here is the U.S. military base."*

And we know—Qatar hosts the largest U.S. military base in this region.

This is also where CENTCOM—the U.S. Central Command—is headquartered.

Often in news reports you hear—‘U.S. fighter jets have been deployed to the Middle East,’ or ‘U.S. troops are being withdrawn from the Middle East.’

But where exactly in the Middle East?

In fact, most of this activity happens from or through the U.S. base in Qatar.

We often hear official statements—‘according to CENTCOM...’

Where is CENTCOM’s regional office?—Right here in Qatar.

So, Iran’s strike here is clearly a message and an attack aimed at U.S. forces—

Not an attack on the Qatari people."

A few photos and video footages have surfaced showing that some of the missiles landed in empty fields or in residential areas.

Beyond that, no major damage has been reported so far.

Many reports are saying that this was a ‘symbolic attack.’

And it was something Iran needed to do — a show of response.

Even this morning, during the live stream, we had mentioned — a symbolic Iranian attack might happen, possibly in Iraq or Syria. But now it seems that instead of Iraq or Syria, Qatar was chosen for this strike.

And it’s clear why — Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base is fully operated by U.S. forces. This is where the strike took place.

Now the big question is — how far will this go?

Will the U.S. respond to this strike?

Or was this perhaps a kind of pre-arranged or coordinated strike?

Some reports are suggesting — was this somewhat of a ‘coordinated’ move? Meaning — ‘I will strike your base, but giving you advance notice, so you can move out and avoid major casualties.’

It seems that the purpose here was more to send a message — rather than to cause major destruction.

"If you want to avoid escalation, move out."

Following this message — U.S. forces have withdrawn from that area.

Qatar also repositioned its personnel.

Air defense systems were kept on alert.

According to various reports — especially from Reuters, The New York Times, and other international media —

this attack was communicated in advance.

Meanwhile, reports also confirm that Iran has launched missile strikes on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq.

So, these strikes were carried out simultaneously in Qatar and Iraq.

There are reports that Iran also attacked Iraq simultaneously.

Some reports say 6 missiles were fired in Qatar, and 1 missile in Iraq.

It is said 6 missiles struck the U.S. base in Qatar and 1 missile targeted the U.S. base in Iraq.

However, Iraqi officials have stated that no Iranian drone or missile attack has occurred yet at the Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq.

Regardless, after the attack in Qatar, important military equipment was relocated.

It has been moved to safer locations in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

Military equipment is often moved to locations slightly away from airbases to reduce risk.

The big question was whether this attack was pre-announced and if it would spark major tensions.

There are some indicators to watch, such as the international stock markets and oil markets.

If prices rise after an attack, it indicates the situation is heating up.

If oil prices had increased after the attack, it would have indicated a heating situation.

However, after Iran's attack, the global oil market price dropped by about 6%.

This means the world market feels that what was a big bubble, a buildup of tension, has now burst, and things are cooling down.

It’s like a low-pressure system or a storm that passes and is followed by calm — that’s the signal the international oil market is sending.

In other words, Iran’s strike was symbolic.

Now, after this attack, there might be some sort of understanding or agreement between Iran and the U.S.

But the issue that repeatedly comes up is Israel.

What does Israel want?

Right after Iran’s attack, Israel struck Tehran, Iran’s capital.

Meanwhile, following the attack, several countries in the Middle East — like Kuwait — have closed their airspace.

Two or three other countries have also closed airspace for passenger flights.

All the Gulf countries are on high alert.

After Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE have all closed their airspace.

No flights are allowed to pass through these airspaces now.

The reason is that whether Iran admits it or not, if there are several attacks, and if any passenger plane gets hit, the consequences would be severe.

There have been reports that Israel has attacked Iran’s capital Tehran, as well as Karaj and Isfahan.

Two explosions have already been reported at a key center in Tehran.

Israel has warned that after Iran’s attack in Qatar, it may retaliate against Iran.

However, Israel has already carried out heavy strikes on Iran over the past two days.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard stated that their attack on the U.S. base in Qatar was retaliation for the American strike on their nuclear project.

That attack caused significant damage to the base.

They also said they have more to say.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has stated that through this attack, they want to send a clear message to America and its allies that Iran is not a country where you can invade its territory, attack, and walk away silently.

Iran is not a nation that will endure an attack on its borders without retaliation.

Anyone who eyes Iran will have those eyes removed,

Anyone who reaches out a hand to Iran will have that hand broken.

In other words, if someone attacks Iran, Iran will retaliate.

Iran’s state television reports that six Iranian missiles have struck the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

Qatar’s air defense and American air defense systems fired many missiles to intercept the attack.

According to reports, oil prices fell by 6%, down to $69.5 per barrel, the lowest in a week.

Meanwhile, former U.S. President Trump has warned Russian President Putin.

Russia’s former Prime Minister Medvedev expressed anger over the U.S. attack on Iran and said many countries are now ready to supply nuclear weapons to Iran.

Trump says Putin is very cautious about this and that Iran should not be given nuclear weapons.

Top world leaders are making important decisions on this matter, and it is believed Putin will take the right course of action.

This is not a good thing at all, and it’s not right for us to use these kinds of tactics. The natural question that arises is: what happened to Trump’s promise to completely end Iran’s nuclear program? To destroy Iran’s nuclear project? We are supposed to be the greatest power, and we would finish off Iran’s nuclear project. But ending Iran’s nuclear program will not bring peace to the world. Until now, who was foaming at the mouth saying “nuclear, nuclear” all the time? The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel.

Now, Russia’s Medvedev has just said once that Iran’s neighboring countries are ready to provide nuclear weapons to Iran. And that has already caused some tears and complaints. Putin has now become the boss. Well, Putin is the boss. That’s Trump’s story. I know some of you may feel bad about me laughing at this, but honestly, when I see all this, I can’t help but laugh.

Then, [music] China says, China tells Iran’s ambassador there that, “Look brother, whatever has happened, has happened. We don’t want to escalate this situation any further.” China is saying this. Now if Russia also says the same thing, then we can understand that, somehow, both sides are okay...

“They hit us, we hit back — that’s how it is. So now, let’s sit down and have a discussion. And to me, this seems to be the main purpose of the attack. Just like the President of the United States said after attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities: ‘We have destroyed those facilities. Now we are safe.’

Iran, too, and its top military officials are saying that they have destroyed the American base in Qatar. They say, ‘We have destroyed it. Now we are safe. We have taken revenge for the attacks on us. The bombs that were dropped on us, we have counted and returned the same number of bombs to America.’

That’s it — now we are peaceful. Given this situation, I think you can sleep peacefully tonight. What seems to be the case is that this counterattack was done after prior intelligence and information. It was more or less expected that a counterattack like this would come.

Now, despite this counterattack, what is the real big problem? The big problem is that in this region, some non-state actors have access to missiles. Non-state actors — some might call them terrorist groups, some might call them proxy groups...”

Some call them the Axis of Resistance, some call them the Axis of [something else], some call them by other names. But they have missiles. They have many missiles. If I say nuclear weapons, that would be wrong — they have missiles. Now, Iran is launching missiles — say two missiles were launched at two locations in Qatar.

If any one of these groups suddenly launches three or four missiles at the United Arab Emirates, whether they hit or miss, or if they launch missiles at Kuwait or Jordan, what would happen?

This would trigger a reciprocal counter-reaction — a retaliatory attack. This is a response. Iran needed to show a response, and it has done so. Just like America needed to show that it attacked Iran’s nuclear sites.

But if someone goes beyond this reaction and deliberately launches, say, five missiles to sabotage the situation, then what happens?

This is the big problem here. And this is not necessarily from proxy groups only. Someone from Israel’s side could also do this, because Israel wants a major conflict here — so that America gets more deeply involved.

Anyway, in light of this situation, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq have all closed their airspace. Attacks are now happening in Tehran, and there are reports of attacks in Tabriz as well. These are the reports coming in. So far, no casualties or injuries have been reported from the Iranian attack on the American base located in Qatar. The American military officials have confirmed that according to their latest information, no American bases in any country other than Qatar have been attacked.

The question is, was the attack in Qatar just a show? It can be said it was somewhat a show. In international terms, this is known as the “rules of engagement.” Meaning, if you slap me at a certain level, I have the right to slap you back at the same level, and if I do, then things remain balanced and a discussion can follow. We saw this in the Iran-Pakistan incident, where Pakistan attacked Iran, and then Iran retaliated by attacking Pakistan. Some bases and people were killed or injured during that exchange.

This is the latest situation. Let’s see what happens tonight. We are living in a time where events that would normally take months are happening every minute, every hour, every day. Stay well and healthy. Allah Hafiz.

Missile attack by Iran on the US base in Qatar is a major event, clearly part of Iran’s retaliation against America. This has caused significant tension in global politics and the security situation in the Middle East. What happens next could include several possibilities:

• Increased regional tension: The strain between Iran and America may intensify further. Additionally, countries like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states may heighten their security alertness.

• Tit-for-tat attacks: As seen before, the US or its allies might take retaliatory military action against Iran.

• Path to diplomatic talks: Major powers such as China, Russia, and the European Union may try to resolve the issue through diplomatic negotiations instead of direct military conflict.

• Instability in oil markets: This Middle Eastern crisis could cause fluctuations and instability in oil prices, affecting the global economy.

• Role of terrorist/proxy groups: Various proxy or non-state groups could become more active in this situation, further complicating the scenario.

Therefore, upcoming developments will largely depend on international diplomacy—how major powers manage their actions to prevent the situation from escalating further. For now, everyone remains on high alert, and the situation can change rapidly at any moment.

Would you like me to provide a more detailed analysis of this situation?
