The Pentagon has acknowledged that an Iranian ballistic missile hit Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in June during an Iranian attack after President Donald Trump downplayed the assault.

Satellite images show that an Iranian missile strike against the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a critical site for the U.S. military 's operations in the region, likely destroyed a geodesic dome housing key secure communications equipment used by American forces.

What we do know is there was a lot of metal flying around,” said Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, following the June 23 Iranian missile strike against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
