The June 23 Iranian missile attack on the United States Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar likely hit a geodesic dome housing secure communications equipment, satellite images published on July 10 revealed.
The attack, which saw Iran firing some 14 short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles at Al Udeid, was carried out in response to the U.S. attack on the Iranian nuclear sites of Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow that took place a day earlier. The exchange marked the end of Israel’s 12-day war on the Islamic Republic.
U.S. President Donald Trump described the attack as a “very weak response.” He said that 13 of the missiles launched by Iran were successfully intercepted and one was “set free” as it was going in a “non threatening” direction.
“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” he wrote on his website Truth Social.
Interestingly, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said at the time that the base’s communications had been disconnected.
“All equipment of the base was completely destroyed and now the U.S. command stream and connection from Al Udeid base to its other military bases have been completely cut,” said Ahmad Alamolhoda, a hard-line cleric.
Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC analyst by the Associated Press show the geodesic dome visible at Al Udeid on the morning of June 23, just hours before the attack. The U.S. Air Force’s 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, which operates out of the base, in 2016 announced the installation of the $15 million piece of equipment, known as a modernized enterprise terminal.
Images taken June 25 and every day subsequently show the dome is gone, with some damage visible on a nearby building.
The London-based satellite news channel Iran International also reported the damage, citing satellite images taken by a different provider.
Overall, it appears that Iran managed to inflict some damage on Al Udeid, proving that U.S. military assets in the Middle East were within the reach of its offensive means. The Trump administration will likely take notes of this going forward, especially that Israel is currently planning some sort of a new confrontation with the Islamic Republic.

iranians beware! dump and his two prostitutes jolana and biba are coming for you. you will be imprisoned in guantanamo, cuba.
the respected (psychopathic) governor ron desantis worked there (tortured prisoners). yeltsin and putin are ordinary pro-western transparent bitches, which is why russia betrayed syria, armenia, and serbia. if ron de santis ran the usa it would be the same shit, only unlike dump, he’s not a pedophile.
he is a gentleman and unlike jolani and dump, he doesn’t jump on little girls.
give it a rest sweety it’s dulsville
they aren’t coming for iranian as at all trump told the world the truth, its americans they’re coming for and so they need to bait america into a war they’ve planned the outcome of already. obviously.
the respected (psychopathic) governor ron desantis worked there (tortured prisoners). the russians betrayed syria. the only capable president of russia within the soviet union was the ukrainian khrushchev, who invented the dead hand that israel also has.
uk and israel own trump with epstein pedophilia evidence. this may be the zionist’s last gasp at robbing america’s money and lives for a zionist empire.
dump and jolani are pedophiles
no belgium has been the modern real centre of global pedophilia. start with marc dutroux and research what the world’s owned msm media don’t want you to know.
propagander goosey. don’t fall for it. its nonsense.
no they own you more likely.
iran is the only country to have hit israeli and american bases. not even russia or china
they’ve been firing rockets into israel for decades, but little msm news nazis pretend they don’t know do the research of iranian consistent provocation on americans especially. its consistent for the last 5 decades.
haha. how’s the weather in tel aviv?
in retaliation for joo terror and joo murder gangs.
do you even know how beautiful the shah’s daughter was, the one who killed herself with pills? i know her because i worked with her at grid girls. she was beautiful and smart, but i wasn’t. now, journalists, tell me what’s happening with miguel uribe, whose mother is lebanese? were colombians successful in him operation and will the president of colombia or will he be schumacher? i knew both brothers ralf and michael when i was still a formula 1 girl.
look he wasn’t from iranian royal families he was a commoner the real bloodline royals dont like that. they use them for a purpose like napoleon, they will remove them when they’ve finished needing them.
i feel sorry for the shah’s daughter because she would have been happy. and she was a beautiful model, much more beautiful and much smarter than me, only nelson piquet’s daughter is even more beautiful than her. in the main, piquet left russian loser daniil kvyat behind and married champion max verstappen. basically, leila pahlavi ended up dead and buried. she would probably have been a better leader of iran than the ayatollah. don’t walk around london, bashar al-assad did too.
i never liked london, at least in milan they pay for an escort in bed. but in london they want to lead everything and then they jump on ukrainian men. you only get various diseases from people like that!
the original “king of kings” shah chosen as western stooge ruler was actually a s*it shoveller in a stables. not very regal.
obama the crack smoking fag had his hand in this i know
i’m winning…heheheh
