The US had warned of possible Iranian retaliation following the strikes. Videos circulated online appeared to show missiles being intercepted above Doha.

Qatar, home to the key Al Udeid US airbase, shut down its airspace as a safety measure. The US Embassy in Qatar has advised American citizens to remain indoors until further notice.
