The Iranian military said it had launched a missile attack on the US airbase in Qatar on Monday, when the blasts were heard in the Qatari capital following the threat of a US airstrike responding to its nuclear sites.

The Iranian military said the attack was “devastating and powerful”, but US officials said no US official was killed or injured in the attack on the airbase, the largest US military installation in the Middle East.

A senior regional source told Reuters, Iran, who was warned by Washington to not cope with a large -scale US military action or not to face them, informed the United States two hours before the attack, as well as Qatari officials, Qatar officials.

Qatar’s Defense Minister told Al Jazeera that its air defense has stopped missiles instructed at the Middle East’s largest US military installation, Aldide Air Base.

Iran threatens to retaliate against the United States, after US bombers demolish 30,000 pounds of bunkers on Iranian underground nuclear facilities, Israel’s Israeli air war against Tehran, and President Donald Trump ended with President Donald Trump.

The attack took place shortly after a Western diplomat told Reuters that after the extraordinary US airstrikes in Iran’s uranium enrichment program, there was a reliable threat to the US military base in the Gulf state.

A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that Qatar, located in the Gulf of Iran, has closed its airspace after receiving advance warning from Iran.

Bahrain, another Gulf of the United States in the north of Qatar, said it had closed its airspace even after the Iranian strike against the al -Adid base.

In addition, military sources said, in addition, the US -Sadd Airbus in Iraq had activated its air defense system due to concern over a possible attack.

Syrian security sources said the US military base in Iraq’s western neighbor Syria was also in full warning to a possible attack by Iran or Iran -linked militia groups.

A small Gulf Arab state of Qatar has previously announced that it has temporarily closed its airspace to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. Then there was a consultative consultation with the US Embassy in Qatar to provide asylum to Americans, of which there was a “abundance of caution”.

Two US officials said Washington estimates that Iran could soon attack US forces in the Middle East, though the United States is still looking for a diplomatic resolution in which Tehran will be released from any retaliation.

Earlier on Monday, Israel bombed a political prison in Tehran, not only in a new demonstration of willingness to attack the pillars of Iran’s ruling system, not only in military and nuclear targets.

Despite Iran’s risks to challenge the delivery of oil from the Gulf, unstable trade in oil prices has declined by 4 %, suggesting that traders suspect that the Islamic Republic will follow an action that disrupts global supply.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Iraqi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow when Tehran backed his last major power friend for his next steps.

‘Viva La Labertad’

Israel made it clear that its strikes on Avon Prison and other targets in Tehran were widespread targeting Iranian ruling equipment, and the ability to maintain its power.

“Viva La Lbertad!” Foreign Minister Geodon Sars wrote on the X, with a video of the explosion in a building, with a indicator identified as the entrance to Avon Prison.

Writers could not immediately confirm the video posted by SAR, though other videos that resulted in a strike on the jail were actually confirmed.

Iran’s IRIB State Broadcaster released a video showing that a rescue worker combed a flat debris in a jail and took a injured man to a stretcher. Iran’s judiciary’s balance news outlet said immediate action was being taken to protect the health and safety of prisoners.

Iran has long been Iran’s basic prison for political detainees and security prisoners, as well as a place of executions that have been strong memories for opposition. There are also several high -level foreign prisoners.

The Israeli military said it had also killed command centers responsible for internal security in the Tehran area.

Defense Minister Israel Dutt said in a statement, “With extraordinary force, government goals and government oppression in the center of Tehran, the military was amazing at the time.”

Most of Tehran’s population has escaped after a 10 -day bombing. Tasnam News Agency reports a strike at a power feeder station in Avon locality. Electricity company Energy said that there was a decrease in electricity in some areas in the capital.

Restricted options

Since Trump has joined the Israeli campaign by leaving a large -scale bunker bomb at Iranian nuclear production sites on Sunday morning, Iran has repeatedly threatened retaliation.

“Mr Trump, Jawari, you can start this war, but we will end it,” Ibrahim Zulfiqri, a spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al -Anbiya Central Military Headquarters, said in a video statement on Monday.

The Trump administration says its aim is to completely eliminate Iran’s nuclear program, not to open a broader war. But in a social media post on Sunday, Trump talked about the elimination of strong academic rulers to Washington’s principal enemies in the Middle East following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Five insiders who know about these debates said efforts have been promoted to wipe a successor for Iran’s 86 -year -old top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khaamini. He said that his son Mojtaba, 56, and the grandson of the revolution, Ayatollah Rohullah Khomeini, 53 -year -old Hassan Khomeini, is now seen as the forefront.
