Iran launches missiles at US base in Qatar, Trump calls for peaceIran launched a missile attack on an American air base in Qatar on Monday that caused no injuries, and President Donald Trump dismissed it as a "weak response" to US attacks while urging Iran and Israel to make peace as the conflict entered its 12th day. Iran gave advance notice to the US via diplomatic channels hours ahead of the attack, as well as to Qatari authorities. He said Iran fired 14 missiles at the air base, calling it "a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered." LIMITED OPTIONSSince the US joined Israel's campaign by dropping massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear production sites on Sunday morning, Iran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate. The Trump administration maintains that its aim is solely to destroy Iran's nuclear programme, not to open a wider war.
