Qatar says it successfully intercepted Iranian missiles launched at U.S. forces

Shortly after the attack, the Gulf nation of Bahrain that is home to the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters temporarily suspended flights in its airspace, which is similar to what Qatar did shortly before it was hit.

Qatar condemned the attack on Al Udeid Air Base attack, but said it successfully intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported. It said its airspace is now safe.

Iran said the attack in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on its nuclear sites over the weekend, signaling its likely desire to de-escalate.

in order to save face and nothing more

not sure about their math though

14 bunker busters were dropped by the USAF and so far all the reports I’ve seen suggest that Iran fired 6 missiles at Qatar
