Iran Attacks U.S. Military Bases in Middle East; Reactions from Trump and Iraq
On February 28–March 1, 2026, Iran launched missile strikes on several U.S. military bases located in the Middle East, including facilities in Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. The attacks came as part of a broader conflict following a major U.S.–Israel military operation against Iran.
What Happened in the Attack
Iran’s military fired ballistic and other missiles at a number of U.S. bases in countries across the region. These actions were described by Iranian officials as retaliation against recent U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran. Explosions were reported in cities such as Doha (Qatar) and other nearby regions.
Reaction from U.S. President Donald Trump
After the Iranian attacks were confirmed, U.S. President Donald Trump issued strong warnings against further aggression. Trump said the United States would respond with “force that has never been seen before” if Iran continued its military actions and threatened severe retaliation. He also spoke directly to Iranian forces, warning that any attack “would be met with unprecedented force.”
Reactions from Iraq
Iraq’s government response has been cautious. Although U.S. bases inside Iraq were among those targeted by Iran’s missiles, Iraqi leaders have emphasized the importance of sovereignty and avoiding further escalation on Iraqi soil. Iraqi officials and public figures have expressed concern about regional instability and have called for calm and diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions. (Specific Iraqi statements are still emerging as the situation develops.)
