Iran says it has launched missile strikes on United States forces at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

The “powerful and destructive” missile strikes were retaliation for the US striking of Iran’s nuclear facilities.“The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on Almighty God and the faithful, proud people of Iran, will never leave any aggression against its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement on Monday.The attacked base is the largest US military installation in the Middle East.

The facility serves as the headquarters and logistics base for US operations in Iraq and also includes the longest air landing strip in the Gulf region.

British forces also rotate through the base. Thecable
