Iran launched a missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.

Witnesses reported seeing missiles in the skies, followed by explosions.

Iran announced on state television that it attacked American forces stationed at Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base. A caption on screen called it “a mighty and successful response" to "America’s aggression.”

The attack came shortly after Qatar closed its airspace as a precaution amid threats from Iran.

A statement by the Qatari Foreign Ministry said on X that the move comes to ensure safety of residents and visitors.

"The competent authorities announce the temporary suspension of air traffic in the country's airspace, as part of a set of precautionary measures taken based on developments in the region," the Ministry said.

Qatar condemned the attack on Al Udeid Air Base, 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.

It also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.
