Watch: Iranian missiles hit US base in Qatar; explosions light up skies
Iran missile attack on US miliatry base in Qatar In a fresh development in the Iran-Israel conflict, Iran on late Monday fired a barrage of missiles at the US-operated Al Udeid air base in Qatar. The attack was Tehran's retaliation to American strikes on it's three key nuclear facilities on Sunday. Residents in Doha and nearby Lusail reported hearing thunderous explosions as the night sky was pierced by projectile trails and interception flashes. Video captured the moment air defenses were deployed to intercept missiles in the skies above Doha. The footage showed the missiles illuminating the night as the air defense systems neutralised the threat. US President Donald Trump downplayed the Iranian attack, calling it a 'weak response'. 'Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,' he said. 'There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was 'set free,' because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction.' Amid the rising tension, Trump also made a surprise announcement declaring a 'complete and total ceasefire' between Israel and Iran. He gave out the details on the phased de-escalation over the next 24 hours. Calling the recent conflict the '12-day War,' Trump posted on Truth Social, "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

'Israel And Iran Came To Me': Trump Takes Credit For Ceasefire, Hails ‘Peace And Prosperity' Ahead
Last Updated: Trump, who has long positioned himself as a dealmaker on the global stage, emphasized the potential for a new chapter between the two longtime adversaries. US President Donald Trump on Monday took to Truth Social and claimed credit for brokering the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying, 'Israel & Iran came to me, almost simultaneously, and said, 'PEACE!'" In his post, Trump said he recognized the urgency of the moment, writing, 'I knew the time was NOW." He framed the development as a win not just for the two nations, but for the broader region, stating, 'The World, and the Middle East, are the real WINNERS!" Trump, who has long positioned himself as a dealmaker on the global stage, emphasized the potential for a new chapter between the two longtime adversaries. 'Both Nations will see tremendous LOVE, PEACE, AND PROSPERITY in their futures. They have so much to gain, and yet, so much to lose if they stray from the road of RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH. The future for Israel & Iran is UNLIMITED, & filled with great PROMISE. GOD BLESS YOU BO," he wrote, in a message blending diplomacy with spiritual appeal. US President Donald Trump played a central role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday, following a dramatic escalation in hostilities, said a senior White House official. According to the official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, Trump personally held a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff simultaneously engaged in diplomatic efforts with Iranian counterparts. The ceasefire agreement reportedly hinges on a key condition: Israel would halt its military operations if Iran refrained from launching any further attacks. The official said that Iran had signalled it was prepared to de-escalate, indicating no immediate plans for additional strikes. The breakthrough came after days of high-stakes deliberations, including Trump's direct involvement in coordinating both sides. First Published: June 24, 2025, 08:05 IST
