Qatar missile strike captured on video before ceasefire
Iran launched missile strikes on a US base in Qatar on Monday, 23 June, following the closure of Qatar's airspace.
The strikes were a retaliation for Washington's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities the day prior.
Iran informed the US of the impending attacks hours beforehand via two diplomatic channels.
The events occurred before a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Iran, bringing a halt to what US president Donald Trump called a '12 day war'.

‘They don't know what the f**k they're doing!' rages Trump as he blasts Iran AND Israel for breaking hour-old ceasefire
DONALD Trump has slammed both Israel and Iran blasting they "don't know what the f*** they're doing". Trump's stunning profanity in front of cameras comes after a ceasefire between the two Middle Eastern countries appeared to break down. 4 4 4 4 The President appeared visibly angry speaking to journalists as he left the White House to Joint Base Andrews this morning. Israel is now preparing to strike Tehran after a new wave of ballistic missiles were launched at Israel. The rockets arrived just four hours into a pause in fighting following 12 days of missile salvos and World War 3 brinkmanship. The two ballistic missiles were intercepted around 9am UK time - but it sparked what appeared to be a rapid deterioration of the ceasefire. The IDF is set to launch 'intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran', Israel's defence minister Israel Katz has said. Trump has now blasted both Iran and Israel for violating the ceasefire saying that he was "unhappy" with both. But he also took aim at Israel, saying it needed to "calm down". He also sent a stinging message to Israel in a post on social media saying: "Do not drop those bombs. If you do it is a major violation. "Bring your pilots home now." In a case of mixed messaging, Iran has denied twice that they fired the missiles but also claimed that Israel broke the ceasefire first and the salvo was in response to that. Israeli politicians have so far viewed the salvo as a clear breach of the ceasefire, with Katz saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also coordinated the impending strikes. Trump announced the ceasefire on social media early on Tuesday morning saying: "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Netanyahu declared victory and hailed Operation Rising Lion as a success having gutted the Ayatollah's ballistic missile and nuclear program. He said in a statement: 'The IDF achieved full air control over Tehran's skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets." The first part of the deal kicked into effect at 5am UK time and involved Iran first stopping its missile attacks. Israel then had an extra 12 hours to continue attacking Iran, with its strikes having to stop at 5pm UK time and the full ceasefire taking effect. The agreement came after the Ayatollah fired a last second salvo of missiles just before the deadline at 5am UK time. Tragically four civilians were killed in the heartless strike on apartment buildings in the city of Beersheba. Trump made the announcement just hours after Iran dramatically attacked a US military base in Qatar. He wrote on Truth Social: "It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE." Don dubbed the conflict "THE 12 DAY WAR" and said it could have "gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will!" The ceasefire came after Trump dismissed the Iranian missile strike targeting the Al Udaid US air base on Monday night as "very weak". All the Iranian missiles were shot down, and no casualties were reported.

Iran-Israel latest: Trump orders Israel ‘do not drop those bombs' as he accuses both sides of violating ceasefire
Kremlin rejects criticism it did not do enough to help Iran The Kremlin on Tuesday pushed back against criticism that it had not done enough to back Iran, saying it had taken a "clear position" by condemning US and Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic. President Vladimir Putin has condemned what he called "unjustified" US attacks on nuclear sites in Iran, with which he signed a strategic cooperation treaty in January. He said on Monday that Russia would try to help the Iranian people, although he gave no specifics. Iranian sources told Reuters earlier this week that Tehran had not been impressed with Russia's support so far. Asked about comparisons to the toppling last year of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, when Moscow refused to send troops or more air power to keep its ally in power, the Kremlin said some people were trying to spoil the Russian-Iranian partnership. "Russia actually supported Iran with its clear position," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi had appreciated Moscow's stance when he met Putin on Monday.

Watch: Trump's expletive-laden warning to Israel
US President Donald Trump is taking no prisoners today. Just hours after Trump announced a ceasefire had come into place between Israel and Iran – following the Iranian strikes yesterday evening on Doha – now the President has sent a message to Israel, warning against further strikes in a rather, um, explicit fashion. Taking first to his Truth Social platform, Trump issued a concise memo: ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! Speaking to reporters before today's Nato summit in The Hague, the US President then went on to fume that he is 'not happy' with Israel. The Israeli military had agreed to Trump's peace proposal, but subsequently announced it had intercepted a missile launched by Iran – Tehran denies starting fresh attacks. 'There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard after the time limit and now Israel is going out. These guys [have] got to calm down,' he told the press. 'I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn't have to unload.' Trump added: We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Don't hold back! In the last few minutes, the President has taken to Truth Social to issue yet another message, after initially climbing that both Iran and Israel violated his ceasefire agreement. Now Trump has written: Israel is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'plane wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter! Half an hour is a long time in politics, eh? Watch the clip here:
