Donald Trump has rushed to the White House "situation room" after Iran launched a volley of missiles at a US military base in Qatar.

The President, his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the US joint chiefs of staff are all in the bunker, fewer than 48 hours after American bombers launched an extraordinary overnight raid on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday.

Iran is said to have warned Qatar and the US ahead of this attack.

According to the New York Times, Iran told Qatari officials of the strikes ahead of time.

Three Iranian officials familiar with the plans said Iran "symbolically" needed to strike back at the US, but in a way which allowed all sides an "exit ramp".

No American personnel have been killed or injured in Iran's attack against the Al Udeid air base, both the US and Qatar have said.

Al Udeid, the largest US military installation in the Middle East, had been evacuated of aircraft a few days prior to the strikes, according to satellite imagery.
