US President Donald Trump was in consultations with top US defense officials in the situation room, CNBC reported, citing an administrative official.
Qatar says it reserves the right to respond to Iran directly
The official Spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs took to X to post, "The State of Qatar strongly condemns the attack that targeted Al-Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. We consider this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations Charter."
"We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law," he continued.
