Shit just went up a notch or four. Iran has launched a missile attack against US bases in the Middle East.
The al Udeid air base in Qatar was hit by Iranian missiles, and the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq had its air defences turned on.
US bases in northern Iraq have also been put on high alert.
Explosions were heard over Doha shortly after Qatar shut down its airspace.
The White House said they were closely monitoring potential threats to Al Udeid air base in Qatar.
The US Centcom headquarters are located at the base, and British military personnel rotate through it as well.

President Trump has responded to the Iranian attacks:
“I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same.”
