On 23 June 2025, Iran launched missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, in retaliation for the United States strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on 22 June as part of the Twelve-Day War. The attack, codenamed Operation Glad Tidings of Victory, followed a 16 June drone attack by Iran on the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq. It was Iran's second attack on a US base, after Operation Martyr Soleimani in 2020. Iran warned Qatar and the US hours before the attack, as it had before its response to the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. Shortly after, the Taji military base and Imam Ali base in Iraq were both attacked by drones.
