Iran fires at US base in Qatar |
Iran launched missiles against a United States military base in Qatar. The move comes after Tehran threatened to retaliate against the U.S. for strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. The White House and the Department of Defense are aware of, and closely monitoring, potential threats to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a senior White House official not authorized to speak publicly told USA TODAY. The strikes are part of an operation against a the U.S. base in Qatar, Iran state TV has reported, according to CNN. With 40,000 troops in the Middle East, the Pentagon has been bracing for a counterattack by sending an additional aircraft carrier strike group to the region and bolstering air defenses to protect troops in recent weeks following Israel's ongoing attacks on Iran.

Tensions are rising among conservatives over the U.S. strikes. |
