Qatar Thwarts Missile Strike as Gulf Tensions Surge

As U.S. military operations against Iran continue for a fifth consecutive night, regional tensions have sharply escalated with a wave of retaliatory strikes across the Gulf. Following mobile security alerts and reports of several explosions in Doha, the Qatari Ministry of Defense announced that its army successfully thwarted a new missile attack targeting the country. The tense moments of the mid-air interception were captured on video by amateur cameras. This incident coincides with renewed Iranian aggression against Gulf nations hosting U.S. military assets, as both Kuwait and Bahrain confirmed they were subjected to fresh missile and drone attacks earlier in the day.
