Trump Calls for Peace After Limited Iranian Missile Strike on U.S. Base
In a surprising turn of diplomacy, President Trump suggests it’s time for peace following Iran's recent missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which resulted in no casualties.
June 23, 2025, 6:49 p.m. ET — Amid heightened tensions following a U.S. assault on Iranian nuclear facilities, President Trump is emphasizing the need for peace after Iran's missile strike on a U.S. military base in Qatar. The Pentagon confirmed the Iranian Armed Forces launched missiles at Al Udeid Air Base, but thanks to advanced missile defense systems, 13 of the 14 missiles were intercepted. The one that didn't pose a threat was allowed to land, causing no injuries or fatalities.
The missile attack marked Iran's warning against U.S. military actions taken just days earlier, which included airstrikes on multiple Iranian nuclear sites. These American operations reportedly inflicted significant damage but did not completely destroy the strategic targets.
In a series of social media messages, President Trump acknowledged Iran’s advance warning of their missile strike, expressing gratitude for the lack of casualties. He minimized the nature of Iran's response, describing it as “very weak,” and implored that this could be the turning point toward "Peace and Harmony" in the region. He also encouraged efforts towards de-escalation from both Iran and Israel.
The backdrop of this situation includes a dramatic military display from the U.S., which recently deployed a squadron of B-2 stealth bombers to conduct precision strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities. This military escalation has put global leaders on high alert, as discussions surrounding potential diplomatic resolutions gain urgency.
As both nations navigate these tensions, Trump's hopeful message aims to reduce the risk of escalating conflict and signal a desire for renewed dialogue in the Middle East.
