Shamkhani: Missile strike on Al-Udeid base a reminder of Iran’s resolve to respond
A senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has warned that last June’s missile strike on the United States military’s Al‑Udeid Air Base in Qatar should serve as a reminder to President Donald Trump of Iran’s resolve and capability to respond to any act of aggression.
“The president of the United States, who repeatedly brings up the futile attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, would do well to also mention the plowing of the American Al‑Udeid base by Iranian missiles,” Admiral Ali Shamkhani said in a post on X on Wednesday.
“It would certainly help create a realistic understanding of Iran’s determination and capability to respond to any aggression,” added Shamkhani, who was injured when his residence was targeted by Israeli strikes during the 12‑day aggression last year.
His comments came shortly after US media reported that some personnel at Al‑Udeid had been advised to leave the base by Wednesday evening amid concerns that mounting tensions between Tehran and Washington could escalate into a military confrontation.
Iran struck the Al‑Udeid base, the US military’s largest in West Asia, with missiles last June after the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in support of the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic, which killed more than a thousand people, including senior commanders and nuclear scientists.
The Al‑Udeid base, located outside Doha, serves as the forward headquarters for US Central Command and directs American military operations across the region.
In recent days, Trump has repeatedly threatened to launch another strike as deadly riots, backed by Washington and Tel Aviv, raged in several cities.
Millions of Iranians marched nationwide on Monday to condemn the unrest and the destruction of public and private property, expressing support for the Islamic Republic. Calm returned to major cities following the rallies.
On Tuesday, however, Trump urged rioters to seize state institutions, telling foreign‑backed groups that “help is on its way.”
Iranian officials have warned that US bases in the region will be targeted if Washington launches any attack.
