The Pentagon confirmed that 13 of the missiles were successfully intercepted by U.S. missile defense systems, while one fell harmlessly into a remote area adjacent to the base.

President Trump Thanks Iran for Advance Notice
In a statement posted on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump expressed gratitude to Iran for providing early warning, allowing U.S. troops to protect themselves and critical equipment.
“We thank Iran for notifying us ahead of their action, allowing our forces to safeguard American personnel and equipment. Our defenses worked as intended, and the situation is under control. We remain vigilant and committed to peace and stability across the Middle East.” — President Trump
The President emphasized that this could be a one-off retaliatory attack, hinting at the possibility that Iran is seeking a path to de-escalation and a return to the negotiating table.
Pentagon Confirms Minimal Impact
The Pentagon confirmed that U.S. air defense crews responded effectively. According to a statement by the Defense Department, 13 out of the 14 inbound missiles were neutralized midair, while the lone missile that impacted did so in an area “well outside any operational or populated zone” of Al Udeid
“Today’s attack appears to be a calibrated warning,” stated Pentagon Press Secretary Gen. Pat Ryder. “We continue to assess the situation, and we remain committed to defending our personnel and interests across the region.” https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/
An Opening for Peace
While tensions remain high, senior U.S. defense and diplomatic officials signaled that this measured response by Iran might mark an inflection point in the ongoing conflict. An unnamed senior official at the State Department said:
“This could be a signal that Tehran is open to dialogue. The administration remains committed to exploring a diplomatic path that serves the interests of both nations and promotes stability across the Middle East.”
Partisan Divide in Washington – Iran Warns United States of Imminent Attack
The episode has already stirred reactions across the political spectrum in Washington. Democratic leaders called for restraint and emphasized the President’s constitutional authority in responding to the attack. Democrats have criticized the President in the past for extending military powers beyond Congressional oversight. They are suggesting inconsistency in how impeachment discussions arise.
“While Democrats have often thrown around the word ‘impeachment’ when a president acts within their constitutional authority, many have remained silent when overreach occurs,” said one senior congressional aide. “The President acted well within the powers granted to the executive branch tonight, ensuring the safety of our troops and acting with precision.”
Looking Ahead
For now, both U.S. and Iranian authorities appear poised to stand down. The White House vows to pursue dialogue and de‑escalation while clearly warning any aggression endangering American troops faces retaliation.
With tensions still high across the Middle East, the world watches closely as this crisis could shift toward peace.
