Iran launched missile attacks on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, directly targeting American troops in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. President Trump immediately gathered his national security team in the Situation Room to coordinate our response. This brazen aggression shows Iran’s complete disregard for peace.
The Iranian regime fired missiles at our brave servicemen stationed in Qatar just days after U.S. B-2 bombers destroyed key nuclear sites in Iran. Thankfully, our allies in Qatar reported their air defenses intercepted most threats with no American casualties. Iran’s actions prove they remain a rogue state that must be confronted with strength.
This attack crosses a dangerous line by expanding Iran’s terror campaign beyond Israel to target U.S. forces directly. Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei openly vowed to keep attacking despite our warnings. Such reckless behavior endangers all freedom-loving nations in the Middle East and cannot be tolerated.
President Trump showed decisive leadership by ordering bunker-buster strikes that crippled Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend. Our military delivered a powerful message that America won’t be threatened. We must continue standing firm against bullies who test our resolve.
Qatar rightly condemned Iran’s violation of its sovereignty while working closely with U.S. forces to protect American lives. This cooperation demonstrates how strong alliances help keep our troops safe. We must always support partners who stand with us against terrorism.
Iran’s latest aggression proves they haven’t learned from previous defeats. Their leaders still dream of dominating the Middle East through violence and intimidation. We must keep hitting back harder until they understand America won’t back down.
The State Department has wisely issued worldwide cautions for U.S. citizens as Iran continues its terror campaign. We must remain vigilant against these threats both abroad and at home. Protecting Americans is always job one.
This conflict shows why we need strong leaders who put America first. President Trump’s firm stance sends a clear message to Iran and other enemies: attack us and face devastating consequences. We’ll always defend our people and our interests with overwhelming force.
