No Reported Casualties
Although several loud explosions shook the skies over Doha, no injuries or fatalities were reported. This was confirmed by both the US military and Qatari authorities.
The Political Reaction
United States
President Donald Trump described the attack as “very weak” and “expected,” suggesting that Iran had acted with restraint and precision. In a statement delivered from the White House, Trump announced the formal ceasefire agreement that came into effect the following day between Israel and Iran. He expressed optimism for peace and indicated that both sides had acted with a degree of “maturity” despite the crisis.
Iran
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that the attack was not intended to kill but rather to send a signal. In a statement published on X (formerly Twitter), he said:
“We have not violated anyone, and we will in no way accept being violated by anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. We will not submit to aggression.”
