Iran Strikes Back: Revolutionary Guards Launch Devastating Missile Attack on U.S. Base in Qatar

According to Saed News, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has conducted a major retaliatory strike on the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East. The missile operation, dubbed Basharat al-Fath (“Good News of Victory”), was launched in the wake of what Iranian officials described as an unprovoked American military assault on Iran’s peaceful nuclear infrastructure.

The attack was reportedly carried out under the direction of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and operational command of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters. According to Iranian sources, the operation commenced with the invocation of the revered Shiite call “Ya Aba Abdillah al-Hussain,” underscoring both the religious symbolism and national resolve behind the move.

The strike on Al-Udeid — a critical hub for U.S. Air Force operations across the Gulf region — signals a stark escalation in the standoff between Tehran and Washington. While immediate assessments of damage and casualties remain unclear, Iranian officials have characterized the missile barrage as both “destructive” and “successful.”

This latest development follows Iran’s mounting warnings in recent months that any aggression against its sovereignty, particularly targeting its nuclear sites, would be met with decisive force. Tehran has long argued that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, while Western officials and Israeli intelligence continue to view it with deep suspicion.

The retaliatory attack on Qatari soil also places Gulf allies in a precarious position, as they navigate the tightrope of hosting U.S. forces while seeking to avoid being drawn directly into conflict. For Doha, the strike raises urgent questions about the security and political risks of its strategic alignment with Washington.

As Iran signals its willingness to respond militarily beyond its borders, the region stands on the edge of a broader conflict — one shaped not only by military calculus, but by deeply rooted ideological, geopolitical, and religious dimensions. The coming hours and days may determine whether this marks the beginning of a wider confrontation or a peak before de-escalation efforts begin.
