Iran reacted on Monday after the United States attacked three of its nuclear installations by launching at least six missiles at American outposts in Qatar.
Iran reportedly launched six missiles toward US sites in Qatar, citing an Israeli official.
“Explosions were heard over Qatar capital Doha, according to both AFP and Reuters. There was no immediate information available on casualties. The attack is the second largest direct attack by Tehran on US targets after the Islamic Republic’s response to the killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani in 2020,” the AL-Monitor reported.
The US Embassy in Qatar issued an emergency “shelter in place” order for any Americans residing there on Monday, citing rising tensions with Iran.
