Ramallah – Zaytoun News
The State of Palestine on Monday evening condemned the Iranian attack on a US air base in Qatar.
It slammed the attack as a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, and affirmed that it stands by the side of the State and people of Qatar.
US military officials said that Al Udeid Air Base was the only US military base targeted by Iran, according to the Reuters news agency. The officials confirmed that there had been no impact on the base just outside Qatar’s capital, Doha. A US defence official added that “Al Udeid Air Base was attacked by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles originating from Iran today”.
“At this time, there are no reports of US casualties. We are monitoring this situation closely and will provide more information as it becomes available,” the official said.
Following the attack, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a post X that “we have not violated anyone’s rights, and we will not under any circumstances accept any violation against us, nor will we surrender to anyone’s aggression; this is the logic of the Iranian nation.”
