LIVE: Iran attacks Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar after US strikes

Here’s the translated version of the full statement by the IRGC on the attack it launched earlier today:

To the noble and resilient people of Iran:

Following the blatant military aggression by the criminal regime of the United States of America against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its clear violation of international law, and based on the decision of the Supreme National Security Council and the leadership of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has, under the sacred code name, “Ya Aba Abdillah al-Hussain”, launched a powerful and devastating missile attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar as part of Operation Annunciation of Victory.

This base serves as the command centre of the US Air Force and is the largest strategic asset of the American terrorist army in West Asia.

The message of this decisive action by the sons of our nation in the armed forces to the White House and its allies is clear and direct:

The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on Almighty God and supported by the faithful and proud people of Islamic Iran, will under no circumstances leave any aggression against its territorial integrity, sovereignty or national security unanswered.

The American enemy’s aggression has once again exposed that Zionist malevolence is a continuation of US schemes. Accordingly, we emphasise that in this national defence, US bases and mobile military assets in the region are not points of strength, but rather major vulnerabilities and the Achilles’ heel of this warmongering regime.

On the eve of Muharram – the month of mourning for the Master of Martyrs, Imam Hussain – we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran:

The era of hit-and-run is over.

The resolve of our powerful and popular armed forces is such that any repetition of hostile acts will accelerate the collapse of US military structures in the region, lead to their disgraceful retreat from West Asia, and contribute to the realisation of the shared aspiration of the Islamic Nation and freedom-seeking nations around the world: the eradication of the cancerous Zionist regime.
