Esmaeil Baqaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, declared that the strike on the US military base Al-Udeid was executed under Article 51 of the UN Charter, constituting an act of self-defense in response to US aggression on June 22nd. He explicitly stated that the attack was not aimed at Qatar, a nation with which Iran maintains robust and amicable ties. Baqaei underscored Iran’s dedication to a policy of good neighborliness. Former President Donald Trump, via Truth Social, noted that Iran’s response, which included multiple missile launches, was anticipated and largely mitigated by US forces, with minimal damage reported.
