Trump describes the Iranian attack on a US base in Qatar as “very weak”. He now demands peace in the region – and even thanks the Iranians.
According to President Donald Trump, Iran warned of Iran about the attack on the US military base in Qatar. For this he thanked Iran that there were no injuries or deaths, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. He described Tehran’s retaliation attack as a “very weak answer” on the US bombardment of three Iranian nuclear facilities at the weekend.
Perhaps Iran can now go to peace and harmony in the Middle East – he will also encourage Israel to do this too, Trump continued to do so. Israel has been war on Iran for a good ten days.
According to Trump, 13 Iranian rockets were intercepted by the rocket defense that another had flown in a harmless direction, which is why it was not shot down. There was “hardly any” damage in the attack, “which we expected”.
The Iranians would now have practiced their retaliation with the attack on the US Air Force base Al-Treid in Qatar and hopefully there would be no further “hatred”, wrote Trump. He put the word “hate” in capital letters. In another post, Trump wrote in capital letters: “Congratulations, world, it’s time for peace.”
Qatar had previously explained that his air defense systems had successfully intercepted the Iranian rockets. It was a “blatant injury” of sovereignty and airspace in the country, it said. Shortly before the attack, the Golfemirate had announced the blocking of its airspace.
The United States had attacked the uranium -enrichment systems in Fordo and Natans with bunker -breaking bombs at the weekend. A nuclear device in Isfahan was also bombarded.
The Iranian government condemned the air strikes as contrary to international law. Shortly before the retaliation against the US base in Katar, Iran’s President Massud Peseschkian on X once again said that “the aggression against Iran would not be unanswered”.
The US military maintains numerous bases around the Persian Gulf. They are only a few hundred kilometers from Iran and were considered potential targets. Around 40,000 US soldiers are stationed in the region.
Al-Treid is one of the most important US bases in the region. According to reports, around 10,000 soldiers and civilian staff are usually stationed there. Al-Treid is also the command center of the US military in the region.
