Video shows missiles over Qatar after Iran fires at US military base

Eyewitness footage captured missiles in Qatar's skies after the country's airspace was closed on Monday, 23 June.

Iran launched missile strikes on a US base in the country after it vowed to retaliate against Washington for bombing its nuclear facilities on Sunday.

Iran informed the US via two diplomatic channels hours ahead of the attacks in Qatar, a senior regional source told Reuters.

It comes after American officials said Donald Trump was “simply raising a question” after the US president entertained the idea of a regime change in Tehran following his claim he had taken a nuclear bomb “right out of Iran’s hands”.
