Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has warned that U.S. military bases in the Middle East could face attacks if tensions escalate. Speaking in Tehran, Khamenei referenced a previous strike on the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, signaling the potential for similar actions. He highlighted Iran's strategic missile capabilities, emphasizing its ability to target U.S. assets in the region.

The remarks come amid growing regional instability, including the ongoing Gaza conflict and an increased U.S. military presence. Iran’s military focus on asymmetric warfare and missile technology strengthens its regional deterrence. The warning further strains U.S.-Iran relations and raises concerns about future military escalation.
