At this site, the remnants of ballistic missiles and drones have been collected

that targeted different areas in Qatar. The Iranian attacks

against Qatar repeatedly targeted energy facilities, which

affected production operations and pushed QatarEnergy to declare a state of force majeure

in Doha. These shots document

which are being revealed for the first time, the moments of targeting the city of Ras

Laffan Industrial City in two waves on the eighteenth and nineteenth of

March 2026. The attacks were carried out with ballistic missiles and drones

that targeted the backbone of Qatar’s energy sector more than once. These

attacks caused direct damage whose repercussions extended to negatively affect the

energy and liquefied gas market in the entire world.

Here at Al Udeid Air Base, located southwest of Doha,

Qatari forces allowed us during the war to enter the base

and film there for a short time because of the complex security conditions.

As the base was subjected during the days of the war more than once to attacks

Iranian, with missiles and drones. This is one of the sites inside the base.

that was targeted with a ballistic missile, causing massive destruction

there.

Do you deny that the American Al Udeid Air Base is located in Qatar?

Qatar officially announced that Al Udeid Air Base was not used to launch any

attacks against Iran and told everyone that, including you. Well,

if that is true, and based on not allowing the United States

to use Qatari territory, I announce here that Iran did not target any military base or any assets in Qatar. Is it enough

that I simply say we did not fire any missile at Qatar? My friend,

actions speak louder than words. The truth is that Qatari airspace

and Qatari territory and the military assets linked to the United

States were used over and over again to attack Iran. This is a fact

that cannot be denied, and we are sorry about that. When we met one

of the officials here in the Qatari Ministry of Defense, he said that Al Udeid Air Base

was

Empty of American forces when this war broke out. Did you inform

the Iranian side, Dr. Majed, in advance to evacuate it? Of course

First, regarding bilateral communication with Iran, there were channels of contact

that certainly existed at the military level and at the political level

and at other levels. But this information was even available at

the public level, meaning in the general context and in open sources.

But what matters here is when did the attacks on the State of

Qatar begin? They began minutes after the American attack, meaning there

was not even enough time for the Iranian side to verify any

information, even targeting information. This was a pre-planned scheme

to target the State of Qatar. And Iran knows, and Iranian officials

especially at the military level know, that this base, even though it

hosts friendly forces in part, is also a Qatari base where the Qatari

armed forces operate and work, and it contains

A presence of Qatari forces. We have ample evidence confirming that the airspace,

territory, and American bases in Qatar were used to carry out

military aggression against Iran. We shared this evidence with the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Have the Iranians shared any evidence with you regarding this evidence?

This Iranian media narrative is, unfortunately, a repeated one,

an attempt to justify their targeting of vital Qatari facilities

and their targeting of the Qatari people and the peoples of the region in general.

And if this claim were true, this evidence would be on television screens today,

not just allegations of the existence of evidence that we do not see

either in the media or through diplomatic communication.

In response to this point, he said, “We do not want to escalate matters with Qatar, as it

is a neighboring country and we have close relations with it, and we kept this evidence within

diplomatic channels and do not want an escalation in the media.” Of course,

this statement is very laughable, because someone who does not want to escalate toward a country

A neighbor that does not target this people’s assets does not target

its civilian facilities, and does not directly target its people.

Despite the intensity of the targeting and the variety of strikes during the weeks of the war,

Qatar's Ministry of Defense announced it had successfully repelled the largest proportion

of the attacks, relying on advanced defensive systems for monitoring

and warning and for engaging the targets, according to the Qatari Ministry of Defense.
