Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Monday evening that it had targeted the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar with a “powerful and destructive" missile strike as part of an operation it dubbed Annunciation of Victory, in response to the US aggression that struck three peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran.

According to the statement, Al-Udeid Air Base serves as a key air force hub and is the most strategic asset of the US military in West Asia.

The IRGC stressed that the decisive action taken by the Iranian armed forces sends a clear and direct message to the White House and its allies, which is that Iran "will not leave any aggression against its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered under any circumstances."

It emphasized that US bases and mobile military targets are not a source of strength for national defense but rather a vulnerability.

The statement warned that any repetition of hostile actions against Iran will only hasten the collapse of the US military presence in the region, accelerate its retreat from West Asia, and bring closer the shared aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the free peoples of the world to eradicate the “cancerous gland of Zionism."

It emphasized that the targeted base is located far from urban and residential areas in Qatar, stressing that the strike poses no threat to the “friendly and brotherly state of Qatar or its people.”

The council also reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s commitment to maintaining its historically close ties with Qatar and continuing cooperation.
