In a statement to Air & Space Forces Magazine, Pentagon Chief Spokesman Sean Parnell stated, “One Iranian ballistic missile impacted Al Udeid Air Base on June XX while the remainder of the missiles were intercepted by U.S. and Qatari air defense systems. The impact did minimal damage to equipment and structures on the base — there were no injuries. Al Udeid Air Base remains fully operational and capable of conducting its mission, alongside our Qatari partners, to provide security and stability in the region.” Today’s confirmation comes amidst the release of several satellite images over the last week by Iran International and the Associated Press, showing significant damage to a radome and a number of nearby buildings at Al Udeid, with the radome said to have housed a $XX million communication suite known as the Modernization Enterprise Terminal (MET).

Additionally, during a press briefing at the Pentagon on June 26, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine said there were “reports of something getting through,” but he refused to elaborate at the time about what that meant, or if there was any damage to Al Udeid.
