Iran’s retaliatory attack completely destroys sophisticated US radar system in Qatar
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced that it destroyed a sophisticated American radar system stationed in Qatar as part of its retaliatory attacks targeting US bases and assets in the region.
A Saturday statement from the IRGC said the FP132 radar system, which was targeted in the attack, had a range of 5,000 km and had unique equipment to counter ballistic missiles.
According to a report by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency in 2013, the radar system was worth around $1.1 billion.
The statement said the system was “completely annihilated” in the massive missile attack.
The attack came as part of a coordinated response by Iranian armed forces to Israeli and US unprovoked aggression against Iran that took place early on Saturday.
The unprovoked attacks triggered a swift Iranian response, with IRGC and army missiles and drones targeting US military sites in at least seven regional countries, including Qatar.
Qatar hosts Al-Udeid, the largest US airbase in the region, and Iranian authorities had warned the base would become a target if Iranian territory were struck by the US or Israel.
Iran launched similar attacks on Al-Udeid in June after the US supported the Israeli aggression against Iran and carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

IRGC’s public relations office said in a separate statement that at least 200 military personnel had been killed or injured in Iranian attacks on Saturday.
It added that several US and Israeli missiles failed to reach Iranian territory, landing in deserts and cities in Iraq and Persian Gulf countries.
Iran had previously warned the Persian Gulf countries not to allow their soil to be used in any act of aggression against the country.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in an interview with NBC on Saturday, said he had been in contact with his counterparts from the Persian Gulf countries and explained that the attacks targeted US bases in the region as a “defensive measure.”
“We could not simply sit back and watch,” Iran’s foreign minister asserted.
The Israeli-American aggression came in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, mediated by the Omani government.
