By Jake Schlanger Iran launched several missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Monday. Majed Al Ansari, spokesperson for the ministry, affirmed that "Qatar's air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles." Qatar "consider[s] this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations Charter. We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law," Al Ansari said. The Ain al-Assad base housing U.S. troops in Iraq was also targeted, an Iraqi security official told the Associated Press. |
