Iran retaliates against U.S. bases in five Gulf nations after American attack

Iran launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. military bases across five Gulf nations, including Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. This action followed a substantial U.S. assault on Iranian territory, which Iran claims violated a temporary ceasefire agreement.

The victims are receiving the necessary treatment.

Qatar's Ministry of Interior confirmed that debris from intercepted attacks injured three people, including a child. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Iranian attacks, labeling them a "dangerous escalation" that would hinder efforts to de-escalate tensions and undermine diplomatic initiatives for security and stability. Qatar asserted its right to respond and held the Islamic Republic of Iran legally responsible for the aggression and its repercussions, calling the strikes a "blatant violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity" and international law.

This continuation of aggression is a dangerous escalation that will complicate efforts aimed at containing tension [and] undermining political and diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving security and stability.

The U.S. bombing campaign on Sunday was described as the most intense since the memorandum of understanding was announced, intended to pave the way for a limited ceasefire and diplomatic solutions. Iranian strikes reportedly hit strategic locations in the country's south, including cities near the Strait of Hormuz like Sirik and Jask, as well as Bandar Abbas, Kangan, Bandar-e Deyr, Asaluyeh, and areas around Konarak and Chabahar in the southeast. Reports indicated that targets included not only military sites but also commercial and economic centers, with some docks also being hit over the past few nights.

Qatar considers the Islamic Republic of Iran fully legally responsible for this aggression and all its impacts and consequences.

Iran has stated its readiness for retaliation while also expressing openness to diplomacy. The situation remains highly uncertain, with significant stakes involved.

A blatant violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity and a blatant violation of international law.
