Iran has launched widespread retaliatory missile strikes across the Middle East following what it describes as a major attack by the United States and Israel that began Saturday morning. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted American military installations in multiple countries, including a US naval base in Bahrain where black smoke was observed, and the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military facility in the region. Several Gulf nations with US military presence, including the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, reported intercepting Iranian missiles, though debris from the attack killed one civilian in Abu Dhabi.
