Iran conducted retaliatory strikes on the US airbase Al Udeid in Qatar to avenge US attacks on its nuclear sites.

Qatar hosts Al Udeid Air Base, the largest US military installation in the Middle East, where approximately 8,000 US citizens reside, per State Department figures.

The US maintains around 40,000 troops across the Middle East. Subsequent to the US Embassy’s alert, various organizations in Qatar, including multiple universities, advised students to return home.
