Iran launches missiles at U.S. base in Qatar

9 min • 23 juni 2025
On Monday, Iran struck back against the United States, firing missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar. The retaliatory strikes come two days after the U.S. attacked nuclear sites in Iran.

In a twist, President Trump thanked Iran on social media for giving advance notice of the attacks, "which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured."

Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with NPR correspondents Aya Batrawy, who is on the ground in Dubai, and Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman, reporting from Washington.

Editor's note: This conversation was recorded prior to President Trump announcing that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.
