BREAKING: Iran Fires 10 Missiles at U.S. Bases in Major Retaliation Over Trump’s Airstrikes
Tensions in the Middle East have surged to critical levels after Iran launched at least 10 ballistic missiles targeting U.S. military installations across the region, in a powerful response to the recent bombing of its nuclear infrastructure by American forces.
Iranian military officials confirmed that the missile barrage is a direct retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes authorized by President Donald Trump over the weekend. The strikes reportedly hit multiple nuclear sites deep inside Iranian territory, prompting swift and coordinated retribution from Tehran. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Targeted Base: Al Udeid in Qatar Among Primary Strike Zones
One of the most high-profile targets was the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar—the largest U.S. military hub in the Middle East. The base houses over 11,000 U.S. troops and a fleet of strategic aircraft, including bombers, drones, and reconnaissance planes.
Qatari defense officials have confirmed that air defense systems were activated promptly, intercepting the incoming missiles before impact. No fatalities or property damage have been reported at this time.
U.S. Bases Across the Gulf on High Alert
Following the attempted strike on Al Udeid, air raid sirens were triggered at American military bases in Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain, signaling a coordinated offensive. U.S. and allied forces in the region remain on high alert, with emergency protocols reportedly underway.
Iran Vows Escalation If Provoked Further
Iranian authorities have issued stark warnings to the United States and its allies, promising further action if provocations continue. Speaking anonymously to the international press, a senior Iranian defense official warned:
“The United States will pay the price. This is not a one-day confrontation. Iran is prepared for a long war — even if it takes two years.”
In addition, Iranian state-run media intensified the rhetoric, claiming that up to 50,000 U.S. troops could be returned home ‘in coffins’ if conflict continues to escalate.
Background: Trump’s Airstrikes and Global Fallout
This exchange of fire follows last weekend’s dramatic turn of events when President Donald Trump ordered a heavy bombardment on Iranian nuclear facilities, deploying 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs to target underground complexes.
While the U.S. has yet to confirm the scale of damage inflicted, Tehran insists that civilian casualties were recorded, accusing Washington and its allies of violating international laws and sovereignty.
What This Means for Global Security
With military confrontations unfolding across multiple countries in the Gulf, international analysts fear the onset of a wider regional war that could draw in NATO, Russia, China, and key players in the Middle East. Oil markets, aviation routes, and diplomatic relations are already beginning to feel the ripple effects.
