Iran's Supreme National Security Council released a statement confirming the attack and claiming the number of missiles fired was equal to the number of bombs the U.S. used in its strike on Saturday.

"The base that was targeted in the attack by the powerful Iranian forces was far from urban facilities and residential areas in Qatar," the statement said.

The Foreign Ministry of Qatar issued a statement saying Qatari air defenses "thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles," with no injuries or deaths reported.

Let’s see if the orange fuckbrain understands that this is an off-ramp.

Yup. Iran got to strike back so their leadership doesn’t look weak. No damage on the military base, so the US doesn’t need to claim it was escalation. It’s a win-win if Trump actually allows it to be one.

Yes, now is the time for peace.

It really is. Iran got their tit for tat. This is actually the best possible response, as long as Trump exits the fight now.

They could have sent enough missiles to overwhelm intercept capabilities, just like with Israel.

That’ll be their next response.

This is because he didn't call No Tag-backs. Fucking amateur move.

Iran has a right to defend themselves.
