Trump Calls Iran’s Missile Strike ‘Weak Response’

President Donald Trump confirmed that Iran launched 14 missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Thirteen missiles were intercepted and one was allowed to land, resulting in no American or Qatari casualties and minimal damage. Trump attributed the limited impact of the attack to Iran providing advanced notice, which allowed for effective defensive preparations. Both US and Qatari officials confirmed that air defenses were ready, and the strike was anticipated. Trump called Iran’s retaliation a 'very weak response,' thanked the Emir of Qatar for efforts to maintain stability, and urged Iran, Israel, and the region to pursue peace. Analysts noted that the advance coordination and limited consequences could provide an opportunity to de-escalate tensions.
