JAKARTA - Iran reportedly attacked a military base in the United States (US) in Qatar and Iraq. This is Iran's retaliation after the US bombed Iran's nuclear facilities first.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Karyare are in the Situation Room regarding the attack, a White House official said on Monday, June 23.

A senior official said previously White House officials and the Department of Defense were monitoring the potential threat of an attack on Al Udeid military air base in Qatar.

President Donald Trump visited the base last month, the first commander-in-chief to visit since 2003. It is the largest US military base in the Middle East.

"No visit to the Gulf will be complete without stopping to salute the people keeping America safe, strong and free," Trump told troops at the base on May 17.
