Iran launches airstrikes at US military bases in Middle East, missiles reportedly intercepted

Iran on Monday launched airstrikes on multiple American military bases in the Middle East in response to the U.S. airstrikes this past weekend on Iranian nuclear sites.

The missiles were launched at bases in Qatar and Iraq, though an Iraqi official told the Associated Press that the missiles at the U.S. base in their country never arrived. Iran has not commented on the missile launch toward Iraq.

Qatar says the missiles were intercepted and reports no casualties. 

“We reassure that Qatar’s air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles,” the Qatar foreign ministry said.  

The Pentagon has also said there are no casualties. 

Iran has acknowledged its attack on the United States' Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, first in a state television broadcast – which touted a "mighty and successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression" – then in an official statement.

A U.S. official confirmed with Fox News that al Udeid, in which roughly 10,000 U.S. troops are stationed, was attacked by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles coming from Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine are meeting in the White House's Situation Room.

Qatar's interior ministry released a statement Monday afternoon that said the security situation in the country is "stable."
