(AP Photo) Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his first reaction after Tehran retaliated against the US by targeting the country's Al-Udeid military base in Qatar, said that Tehran won't accept any harassment under any circumstances. The supreme leader said that Iran didn't target the civilians and vowed not to submit to anyone's harassment. 'We didn't harm anyone. And we will not accept any harassment from anyone under any circumstances. And we will not submit to anyone's harassment; This is the logic of the Iranian nation," he said. His statement came after Iran retaliated against the US air strikes on nuclear facilities and fired missiles towards the military bases of the United States in Qatar and Iraq. The Iranian Armed Forces issued a statement and said that it 'targeted the Al-Udeid base in Qatar with a devastating and powerful missile attack in Operation Besharat Fatah". Iran will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances, the Iranian Armed Forces said, in a message for 'the White House and its allies". According to a New York Times report, Iran had given advance notice to Qatar about the strike on the US base to minimise casualties. Issuing a statement on the huge development, the United States said that Iran fired ballistic missiles; however, there were no reports of US casualties. 'Al Udeid Air Base was attacked by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles originating from Iran today. At this time, there are no reports of US casualties. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide more information as it becomes available," the statement said. The retaliation came a day after the US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran and marked its entry into the Israel-Iran war. The US stealth B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs — each weighing 30,000 pounds — on major nuclear enrichment sites in Iran.
