Missile strike destroys US communications radome at Al Udeid Air Base.
Satellite images confirm that Iran’s June 23 ballistic missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar wiped out a geodesic dome protecting a multimillion-dollar secure communications terminal. The rest of the base remained largely intact and operational after advance warning allowed US and Qatari forces to evacuate aircraft and bolster air defenses. The attack, launched in response to US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, prompted a swift ceasefire in the Iran-Israel war.
