00:16Explosions at America's largest military base in the Middle East, Iranian missiles have
00:22struck the U.S. Al-Udid Air Base in Qatar, a key command hub for U.S. Central Command
00:28operations. According to Qatar's defense ministry, one Iranian ballistic missile slipped through air
00:35defenses and hit the base. The attack marks one of the boldest strikes yet in Iran's widening
00:42retaliation campaign. Qatar says two missiles were launched toward the base. One was intercepted,
00:49the other made it through and struck inside the facility. Officials say there were no casualties,
00:55but the exact extent of the damage remains unclear. Al-Udid hosts thousands of U.S. personnel
01:02and serves as a critical command center for operations across the Middle East. The strike
01:08is part of a wider Iranian campaign targeting American military sites across the region.
01:15Hundreds of drones and missiles have been launched toward bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait,
01:21Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. In Kuwait, a drone strike purportedly killed six
01:28U.S. soldiers when it hit an operational compound. Meanwhile, Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth
01:35Fleet, has also faced repeated attacks. The scale of the assault suggests Iran is targeting the backbone
01:42of America's regional military network. Satellite analysis indicates that many strikes are focusing
01:49on communications in radar infrastructure. Facilities housing satellite dishes, radomes,
01:55in key radar systems appear to have been damaged. Among the most serious claims, Iran says it
02:02destroyed a component of the THAAD missile defense radar in the UAE. Open-source satellite imagery suggests
02:09the radar site may indeed have been struck. If confirmed, the system alone is estimated to be
02:16worth half a billion dollars. Another major blow may have hit Al-Udid itself. Reports say the ANFPS-132
02:25early warning radar system, valued at around $1.1 billion, was damaged in the strike. Adding to the
02:33losses, three American F-15E strike eagles were reportedly destroyed in a friendly fire incident
02:40involving Kuwaiti air defenses. The aircraft alone are estimated to cost over $280 million.
02:47The full scale of the damage is still being assessed, but if these strikes are confirmed,
02:53they would represent one of the most costly attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in the Middle East in
02:59years. And they raise a bigger question, how far this conflict could still escalate.
