A symbolic strike may be all they can muster at this point, but we shall soon see.
BREAKING: Iran coordinated their attack on the U.S. air base in Qatar with Qatari officials to “symbolically” strike the U.S. and to provide an “exit ramp,” according to the New York Times.

“Iran launches missile attacks on US base in Qatar,” by David Rising, Jon Gambrell and Melanie Lidman, AP, June 23, 2025:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran launched missile attacks Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites and escalating tensions in the volatile region.
Shortly after the attack, the Gulf nation of Bahrain that is home to the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters temporarily suspended flights in its airspace, which is similar to what Qatar did shortly before it was hit.
Qatar condemned the attack on Al Udeid Air Base attack, but said it successfully intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported. It said its airspace is now safe.
Iran said the attack in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on its nuclear sites over the weekend, signaling its likely desire to de-escalate.
Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.
Iran announced the attack on state television as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty and successful response” to “America’s aggression.”…
somehistory says
‘mighty and successful” In what and how did it “succeed”?
Mr. Trump has outlined to his admin what they are to do if iran manages to murder him.
Will he do anything to them for this “mighty and successful” attack or let it ride?

When Israel started their attack on Iran, I would have advised the life insurance companies not to underwrite a policy on the Ayatollah’s life. Now, I would directly advise the Ayatollah not to buy green bananas.

The funny thing about this raid is that they have pissed off Qatar, which was one of their few Arab allies, due to both countries supporting Hamas & the muslim brotherhood. It would have been hilarious had one of the missiles hit one of the al Thani palaces in Doha, maybe even injuring a few royals. Or one of their gas facilities
OLD GUY says
I would be careful to not under estimate what Iran could still do. Islam and its leaders promote suicide by followers to further their hate for Israel and America. Iran could be just buying time to rebuild and wait till Trump is no longer in office. Shouldn’t take a political genius to figure that out.
