WASHINGTON — President Trump said Monday that Iran gave the US an “early notice” of its plans to retaliate by launching an attack on the US military base in Doha, Qatar — which was completely intercepted.
“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president said there were no casualties and hardly any damage done.
“Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same,” he wrote.
Trump confirmed that there were no Qataris killed or injured in a subsequent Truth Social post.
