The body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran (CGRI) confirmed on Monday that it launched a missile attack against the US Air Base to the Udeid in Qatar, qualifying the attack as a “reprisal response” to US attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities on Sunday at dawn.
In statements published by the official Tasnim news agency, the CGRI warned that any new act of aggression would be responded with force, stating that the US military bases in the region are now “vulnerability” points.
Iran “will never leave any aggression against their sovereignty, territorial integrity or national security.”
The CGRI said the operation was coordinated with the Supreme National Security Council of Iran and marked the end of the era of lightning attacks. He also linked US actions with broader Israeli military objectives, promising continuous resistance to the dismantling of the “Zionist Entity.”

It is possible that this is the first of a series of attacks on other US bases in the Gulf, such as those in Iraq.
For now, the scope of the damages of the bombings at the Qatar base is unknown, and although it is the largest in the American central command for the Middle East, several analysts say that it no longer had strategic elements of value. In fact, the White House quickly went out to minimize the attack ensuring that the base was empty.
In the same way, many analysts also claim that Iran had already withdrawn the enriched uranium and the crucial infrastructure of the three nuclear facilities when they were bombarded by the United States between Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday.
Beyond the damage, the truth is that the UDEID Air Base attacked today, is the Advanced Headquarters of the United States Central Command in the region. The Centcom directs US military operations in a huge strip of territory that extends from Egypt to Kazakhstan. It is the largest American base in the Middle East and can house about 10,000 soldiers.
Qatar for his part assured that his aerial defense frustrated the Iranian attack and at the same time stated in a statement that “the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent to the nature and scale of this shameless aggression, in accordance with international law.” But above all they called for “immediate cessation of all military actions and a serious return to the negotiating table” considering that “military actions in climbing will undermine security and stability in the region, dragging it to situations that could have catastrophic consequences for international peace and security.”
Qatar’s warning is nothing more than the confirmation of the escalation to which Trump led to the region and the world by bringing to the United States to a war action against Iran is the support of the genocidal state of Israel that, while continuing to kill Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, it was the one who began the attacks against Iran under the doctrine of the “preventive war” obtaining weapons, that no specialist in the field confirms.
If Israel’s attacks were already a leap in trends to the regional war, the entry of the United States threatens to extend internationally. The imperialist states, with the excuse of the “right to defense” of the Zionist State, gave Netanyahu green light not only to execute the genocide in Gaza but also to launch this war against Iran.
In this context, it is essential to denounce and repudiate the aggression against Iran by Israel and American imperialism. Faced with the propaganda that, once again, presents Israel as the victim, workers, youth and popular sectors of imperialist countries, they must reject any collaboration with this imperialist aggression and its agents, reject all the sanctions that currently affect Iran and defend it from the attacks, with total independence of the Ayatolás regime.
It is necessary to multiply the actions in the streets between the young and the workers who have already been solidarity with the Palestinian people, from the students in the United States to the United Kingdom or the French, Italian, Moroccan or Greek port Iran
