Iowa Lawmakers Condemn Iran's Attack on U.S. Military Base in Qatar
QATAR, JUN 23 – Iran launched 19 ballistic missiles in a measured retaliation to U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites, with all but one intercepted and no casualties reported, Qatar officials said.
- On June 23, 2025, Iran fired missiles targeting American military installations located in Qatar, Bahrain, and Iraq, including the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, without causing any reported injuries.
- The attacks were retaliation for US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the preceding weekend and included advance warnings to avoid casualties.
- Satellite images showed around 40 US military aircraft had been removed from Al Udeid before the strike, which aimed to make a symbolic political statement and avoid escalation.
- Republican Iowa representatives Randy Feenstra and Mariannette Miller-Meeks denounced the attack as a dangerous act of aggression, with Feenstra emphasizing that the U.S. will stand firm against terrorism.
- The incident heightened regional tensions but led to no casualties or significant damage, while President Biden announced a ceasefire and analysts viewed the strike as more symbolic than strategic escalation.
