The Washington Post: Iran Warns Qatar That US Bases in the Middle East May Become Targets

A European Union official cited by The Washington Post said that representatives of the Iranian government have warned Qatar that US military bases in the Persian Gulf may become targets for Tehran's retaliation against US attacks on Iran.

A reporter from The Washington Post said: "This week, Iranian officials warned Qatari authorities that as a response to American attacks, US military bases in the Persian Gulf will become legitimate targets for strikes."

The newspaper also reported that Iran's rocket strikes may not only target the bases but also US diplomatic institutions in the Middle East.

Previously, the Tasnim News Agency in Iran released a list of US military bases within the range of Iran's rocket weapons.

It is reported that on the night of June 13th, the Israeli Army and Air Force launched an operation against Iran. Israel claimed the reason for the attack was that Iran was fully prepared to manufacture its first nuclear bomb. The targets of the Israeli strike included Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, senior military figures, key nuclear scientists and their families, as well as locations of Iran's air defense systems and ballistic missile launchers.

In response, Iran began launching large-scale rocket counterattacks on Israel. Both sides attacked each other several times daily. Tel Aviv threatened to carry out actions until Iran's nuclear program was destroyed and the current Iranian regime was overthrown. Iran, in turn, stated that it would continue to attack Israel until the Israeli Defense Forces ceased bombing Iran.

Regarding Iran's nuclear program, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi confirmed before the operation that agency inspectors had found no evidence of nuclear weapon development at Iran's facilities. Additionally, contrary to statements from the White House and Israel, US intelligence agencies also confirmed this information.
