Iowa Lawmakers Condemn Iran's Attack on U.S. Military Base in Qatar

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.
