Qatar has confirmed that its air force shot down two Iranian bomber jets and intercepted multiple missiles and drones targeting its territory, including the Al Udeid US air base and key civilian infrastructure.
The attacks are part of a broader Iranian retaliation against US and allied assets in the Gulf, with Qatar asserting its right to self-defense and condemning the strikes as blatant violations of its sovereignty. The Qatari government has denied participating in any retaliatory strikes against Iran, emphasizing its defensive posture. Civilian areas, including airports, were targeted, leading to injuries and widespread disruption, while Qatar's leadership has called for an immediate halt to Iranian aggression.
The crisis has heightened fears of a prolonged regional conflict and disrupted oil and gas operations, with Qatar warning that further attacks will not go unanswered.
