Newly published satellite imagery appears to show the aftermath of an Iranian ballistic missile strike on an equipment warehouse at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, according to reports. The imagery has not been independently verified and the extent of damage is unclear. The report follows earlier documentation of damage to US bases in Qatar and Bahrain from Iranian strikes.
New satellite imagery published this morning appears to document the aftermath of an Iranian ballistic missile strike on an equipment warehouse at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, according to a single report. The imagery, which has not been independently verified, suggests a direct hit on the warehouse, though the extent of the damage and any potential casualties remain unclear. The report follows earlier documentation of damage to US bases in Qatar and Bahrain from Iranian strikes, including footage published earlier today.
In a series of updates beginning at 18:14 Jerusalem on Tuesday, The Zioneer reported initial satellite imagery showing damage to a logistics warehouse at Al Udeid, as well as command and control centers in Bahrain and Kuwait. Within the same bulletin, the desk detailed specific damage to a radar and drone command center at Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, a drone storage hangar at Al-Jafir in Bahrain, and a CENTCOM logistics hangar at Al Udeid, citing Iranian channels and analyst Hananel Aviv. Later that evening, new footage documented damage to US bases in Qatar and Bahrain. Earlier today at 09:58 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported on additional newly published footage documenting damage to US bases in Qatar and Bahrain from Iranian strikes.
Background reporting by The Zioneer has traced a series of unverified claims and visual evidence regarding Iranian strikes on US bases in the Gulf. On Friday June 5, a single source reported that Iranian missiles severely damaged the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Al Udeid. On Sunday July 12, Iran claimed strikes on Al Udeid and other targets. On Monday July 13, a Qatar-based report cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt said the IRGC struck a hangar at Al Udeid with no casualties. Additional satellite imagery has shown fire near Isa Air Base in Bahrain and damage to the U.S. Navy base in Bahrain.
The new satellite imagery has not been independently verified by open-source intelligence analysts or official sources. The United States and Qatar have not commented on the specific damage to the warehouse. The extent of the impact on operations at Al Udeid, which hosts a major US air command center, remains unclear.
