Iran escalated beyond Israeli targets by launching missiles at the Al Udeid base in Qatar, America's largest military facility in the region. This followed Israel's morning strikes on Tehran that targeted the regime's security apparatus - hitting Evin Prison, Basij headquarters, and intelligence facilities rather than infrastructure.
Trump called for regime change early morning, questioning why it shouldn't occur if Iran's government cannot restore the country's greatness. Iran executed a second Israeli spy and announced parliament would suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The missile exchange intensified throughout the day, with Iran launching its twenty-first wave using multi-warhead Kheibar missiles against Israeli military positions. By evening, Iran struck the Qatar base in what it called "Operation Herald of Victory," matching the number of missiles to bombs America used against Iranian nuclear sites. Qatar claimed successful interception, while Trump thanked Tehran for advance notification, calling the strike "very weak."
