BREAKING: Moments ago, Iran launched missile strikes on Qatar.
Explosions have been heard in Doha and across the country. At least six Iranian ballistic missiles targeted U.S. military positions, with Al-Udeid Air Base—near Doha and the largest U.S. base in the Middle East—believed to be the primary focus.

The Pentagon is expected to issue a statement soon.
