President Donald Trump described Iran’s retaliatory missile strike as a “very weak response” to the recent U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites. He expressed appreciation to Iran’s leadership for providing early warning of the attack, which he credited with helping prevent casualties and reducing the risk of escalation.
According to President Trump, Iran launched 14 missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar. Of those, 13 were intercepted by defense systems, while one missile was allowed to continue as it posed no threat, heading in a harmless direction.
