In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran launched six missiles targeting U.S. military bases in Qatar on June 23, 2025. The primary target was the Al-Udeid Air Base, a critical hub for U.S. and coalition forces in the region.

However, Qatar’s robust air defence systems successfully intercepted the attack, preventing any casualties or damage, according to the Qatar Defence Ministry.


Qatar’s Ministry of Defence issued a statement confirming the successful interception and emphasizing the vigilance and preparedness of the armed forces. “Thanks to God, the vigilance of the armed forces, and the precautionary measures taken, the incident did not result in any deaths or injuries,” the statement read. It further reassured citizens and residents that the state and its airspace remain safe, with the Qatar Armed Forces ready to address any threats.

This missile attack follows reports of an “imminent” threat of Iranian strikes on U.S. bases. The broader context includes recent U.S. military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities, which may have provoked this retaliation.

The successful defence by Qatar highlights the effectiveness of its air defence infrastructure, bolstered by a recent $42 billion U.S. defence deal that includes the THAAD missile defence system.

The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with concerns about further escalation and its impact on regional stability and global oil markets. The U.S. Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, and other regional allies are on high alert, reflecting the heightened state of readiness across the Gulf.

As tensions continue to simmer, the incident at Al-Udeid Air Base serves as a stark reminder of the fragile peace in the Middle East and the critical role of advanced defence systems in maintaining security.

When she had asked me if I wanted to tell them I was feeling shy? I said ‘say it’. We have become a generation that is supposed to have the answers. What’s wrong with being vulnerable? She went there, and when they were clicking, she said ‘mujhe sharam aa rahi hai’, and I think it was the most honest thing to be, rather than pretend to be what you are not.”
