Iowa Lawmakers Condemn Iran's Attack on U.S. Military Base in Qatar
- On June 23, 2025, Iran launched a missile strike targeting the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with no reported American or Qatari casualties.
- The attack followed US airstrikes over the weekend on Iranian nuclear facilities and included advance Iranian warnings allowing American and allied precautions.
- Qatari air defenses intercepted most missiles, satellite images showed the US had removed about 40 military aircraft from Al Udeid, and Iran emphasized a calibrated, symbolic response to avoid wider conflict.
- Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra asserted that the U.S. will stand firm against terrorism, while Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks described the attack as a dangerous act of aggression that risks intensifying the conflict.
- The strike reflects Iran's intent for proportional retaliation without escalation, with US and regional leaders urging restraint amid ongoing tensions and President Biden announcing a ceasefire.
