Iran retaliated against the U.S. on Monday, launching missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, according to a statement from the Qatar foreign ministry. The missiles targeted Al-Ubaid Air Base outside Doha and were intercepted by air defenses before they could strike the base, the Qatari government said. 

Thousands of U.S. service members are stationed at Al-Udeid Air Base, an important American military outpost on the Persian Gulf. After an American bombing raid on Saturday hit three nuclear program sites inside Iran, Iranian officials promised to strike back. Iran’s mission to the United Nations posted on Twitter Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “dragging the United States into yet another costly war” and the U.S. has “recklessly chosen to sacrifice its own security merely to safeguard Netanyahu.”
