A spokesperson for the Gulf States tells Reuters news agency that Iran’s attack on Qatar will have consequences for relations between the countries.

The Iranian rocket attack leads to many indignant reactions internationally. Saudi Arabia finds the attack “unacceptable and cannot be justified”. The country also promises to “support Qatar with all the measures it takes”. French President Emmanuel Macron says that the “spiral of chaos” must end. The United Arab Emirates condemn the attack in the “strongest possible terms”. Qatar had already made it clear that it can respond “in a way that is in proportion to the nature and size of this brutal aggression”.
According to the United States, not one rocket has hit Doha.
The Americans have registered one Iranian attack on an American military base in the region: that on the American military base Al Udeid in Qatar. According to American officials there were no more attacks.

However, warning sirens could be heard because of a possible attack, reports the Saudi Nieuwskanaal Al Arabiya . Iran previously claimed to have shot American bases in Iraq and Qatar in retaliation for American attacks on atomic installations.
An initiate in the US Army now reports Reuters that no other US military bases have been attacked. Earlier, attacks on several bases in the region were mentioned, specifically in Iraq.
American sources now officially confirm the attack to international media, including CNN . The news channel reports based on a source of government that Iran has attacked the Al UDEID base with a medium-range rocket. The source confirms that no victims have fallen.
Kuwait also closes the airspace for an indefinite period of time, Reuters reports.
The United States would also have been aware of the Iranian attack on the Al Udeid basis in advance. Insiders report this to Reuters and Axios . The former writes that Iran Washington has informed “two diplomatic channels” hours in advance.
An initiate confirms to Reuters that Qatar was aware of the attack on the Al Udeid basis. That would have happened shortly before the attack, so that Qatar could close the airspace.
Around 5.30 pm (Dutch time), Qatar reported that he had closed the airspace. More than an hour later the attack took place.

Bahrain has also closed the airspace temporarily as a precaution.
The New York Times now comes with remarkable news. The newspaper writes on the basis of three Iranian stakeholders that the attack on the military basis at Doha is coordinated with Qatarese authorities. Iran would have wanted to inform Qatar to prevent killing.
The sources say that Iran felt compelled to carry out a symbolic retaliation attack on the United States.
The Iranian Security Council just said in a statement that the attack was not intended to give danger to the “friendly and brotherly” Qatar. Iran would like to maintain warm ties with the Gulf state.
After Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (VAE) also decided to close the airspace temporarily, Flighttradar reports on X.

The anti-aircraft system above the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq has been left, military sources report to Reuters . The state of readiness is now at the highest level. They are instructed to move to shelters.
A reporter from The Jerusalem Post reports on X that rockets have also been launched in the direction of US military bases in Iraq.

Explosions are now also reported in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Reuters reports this based on witnesses on the spot.
A reporter from AXIOS now reports on the basis of an Israeli initiate that Iran has fired six rockets on American bases in Qatar.
Iran moves rockets for possible attack on American bases The Iranian armed forces have put rockets in position to place American bases in the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal has just reported this on the basis of sources within the US government.
This may mean that Iran will carry out a retaliation attack on the United States in the short term. The US Department of Defense regards the rocket movements as “credible” threat to American bases in the region, says one of the sources.
The Netherlands warns its own citizens in Qatar the Dutch embassy in Doha warns Dutch people in Qatar to be extra vigilant. The Dutch are advised to stay inside as much as possible, avoid busy places and keep an eye on the news. Other Western countries have also issued safety warnings to their citizens in Qatar.

The American embassy in the Gulf state said earlier today that Americans had to hide on the spot. The embassy said that call made it “an abundance of caution”.
Later in the day exactly the same call came from London. The British government calls on countrymen to hide.
What the exact reason for the call is is not clear. A spokesperson for the Qatarese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced earlier today that the security situation in the country is unchanged.
UN: Israeli attacks on Iran possibly contrary to international law The Israeli attacks on Iran may be in violation of international humanitarian law. This is what a special team that did an investigation into the attacks on behalf of the UN.

Several locations were also destroyed, including a clinic for children with autism and a hospital in Kermanshah,” the team concludes in a statement to journalists.

Witte Huis clarification about Trumps Hint on Regimeval in Iran spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has just given clarification about a message from Trump on Truth Social in which the President Hint on an Iranian Regimeval. “If the current regime is unable to make Iran big again, why couldn’t there be a regime change?”, Trump wrote.

This is followed by a striking statement by Rutte: According to him, the US attack on Iran is “not contrary to international law”. It seems that Rutte does not want to get Trump for the head, because the experts agree that the attack has violated the law. There was no acute threat or attack from Iran.
Rutte waves a critical question from a journalist from Al Jazeera Weg. The journalist says that Rutte Russia always calls the aggressor in Ukraine, but does not reject the American attack in Iran. “Is that not hypocritical in view of the recent US actions?”
NATO boss Rutte at the press conference: ‘Iran may not have a kenwapen’ Mark Rutte is currently giving a press conference prior to the NATO summit in The Hague that starts tomorrow. At that press conference, he also briefly encourages developments in Iran.
“When it comes to NATO’s position on the Iranian nuclear program, allies have agreed a long time ago that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon,” says Rutte.
The question remains whether and when Iran will resist the American attack. A reporter from Reuters has just reported on X that the Americans take into account that such a retribution can take place within “one or two days”.
Israel can achieve most goals in the coming days Israel is well on its way to achieve his military goals in Iran, an initiate told CNN . Possibly those goals will be achieved within a few days, the source says.

Reuters reports this on the basis of Iranian initiates. The 86-year-old Khamenei is aware of this.
A three -headed committee that was compiled by the Ayatollah itself two years ago in recent days has accelerated the process to achieve a successor.

Since the American attack on Iran it is feared that Iran closes the sailing route, which would have major consequences for international trade.
Oil transport in particular would be hit in that case. It is estimated that 20 percent of all oil is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz. Disruption of the oil trade is already visible, despite the fact that Iran has not yet made a decision on a possible closure of the route, Reuters reports on the basis of insiders.

Iran: USA was sucked into war by Israel under false pretenses The United States have been misled by supporting Israel with attacks. That is what the Iranian representative said at the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Iran has the full right to defend itself, he added.
Representative Amir Saeid Iravani said that Iran is still considering an answer to the American attack. The army decides on that.
