Satellite photos suggest Iran attack on Qatar air base hit geodesic dome used for US communications
AL UDEID AIR BASE, QATAR, JUL 11 – Iran launched 14 missiles in retaliation for U.S. bombings, damaging the secure communications dome at Al Udeid Air Base and causing limited overall damage, officials said.
- On June 23, 2025, Iran carried out a missile attack targeting a key U.S. military facility near Doha, Qatar, likely damaging a geodesic dome that contained secure communications equipment.
- The attack followed American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and was part of a broader 12-day Iran-Israel conflict shortly before a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
- Satellite images confirm the dome, housing a $15 million Modernized Enterprise Terminal, was destroyed, while U.S. and Qatari defenses intercepted most missiles with no casualties reported.
- Iranian hard-line adviser Ahmad Alamolhoda claimed that the attack resulted in total destruction of the base's equipment and disrupted communications with other U.S. military sites, while President Trump described the strike as a "very weak response."
- The strike demonstrated Iran's calculated but more direct military posture and disrupted U.S. command capabilities, while both sides avoided wider escalation following the ceasefire.
