❗️It seems Iran gave a head ups to the U.S and Qatar

This attack will damage Iran's ties with Qatar and risk a war with the U.S.

His tweets about oil aee clear

He knows Iran is going to attack...he isn't tweeting nor has directed an attack preemptively.

Is the U.S ready to absorb the Iranian symbolic retaliation?

Iran is well past the point of "saving face" or establishing deterrence. Its leaders must surely realise that they are already in a difficult war with a dangerous and reckless adversary.

Retaliating against the US at this point serves no strategic purpose.

It is a huge gambit.

❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, in a statement on X:

'We neither initiated this war nor wanted it, but we will never leave any aggression against Iran unanswered.

‎We will stand by the security of this dear nation⁩ with all our being, and respond to every wound on Iran's body with faith, wisdom, and determination.

God is our protector.'

U.S. officials tell the Wall Street Journal that Iran is positioning missile launchers for a potential attack on American forces in the Middle East, in retaliation for the recent U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites.

A Western diplomat told Reuters there has been a credible Iranian threat against the US-run Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar since noon on Monday.

Good luck inshallah...may you make them regret the aggression on the great nation of Iran

If Al Udeid airbase in Qatar is the target that Iran has chosen, it seems that they are signalling an intent to deescalate with the US. Al Udeid was very publicly emptied over the last week or so. On June 5 there were approx 40 aircraft at the base, this morning, there is 1

We'll likely see a US response to the attack to get the last word in but it seems that (for now), the US' active role in this war is winding down.

🇶🇦 An Israeli official told Axios that Iran has launched 10 missiles targeting U.S. bases in Qatar.

🇮🇷 So far, a very small and symbolic attack with half a day prior warning in an attempt to show the U.S they want to de-escalate and de-associate the U.S from this war

❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Statement by the Iranian Armed Forces:

'Noble and Resilient Nation of Iran!

Following the blatant military aggression of the criminal regime of the United States of America against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the clear violation of international law, by the order of the Supreme National Security Council and the leadership of the Central Headquarters of the Rasool Al-Azam, the IRGC with the sacred code of ' Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein' has targeted the Al-Udeid base in Qatar with a devastating and powerful missile attack in Operation Besharat Fatah.

This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the U.S. terrorist army in the West Asian region.

The message of this decisive action of the sons of the nation in the armed forces is clear and unequivocal for the White House and its allies:

The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty, relying on the faithful and famous people of Islamic Iran, will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances.

With the aggression of the American enemy, it became clear to everyone that the evil of the Zionists was an extension of the Americans' design. Accordingly, we remind you that in this national defense, the U.S. bases and mobile military targets in the region are not a point of strength, but rather a major weakness and a thorn in the side of this warmongering regime.

On the eve of the month of Muharram, the month of mourning for the leader and commander of martyrs, Hazrat Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS), we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran that the era of hit-and-run is over, and the will of the country's powerful people's armed forces.

Any repetition of U.S. aggression will lead to the acceleration of the collapse of the U.S. military pillars in the region, their ignominious escape from West Asia, and the realization of the common aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-loving nations of the world in eradicating the cancerous tumor of Zion.'
