Iran Attack Damages Communications Dome at Qatar Airbase

Iran's attack on an American airbase in Qatar probably hit a communications building, show satellite images analyzed by the news agency AP.

Satellite images taken shortly after the Iranian attack on June 23 show damage to a so-called geodetic dome, a dome structure that according to AP housed American equipment for secure communication.

On images taken hours before the attack, a white dome formation is visible centrally on the al-Udeid airbase outside Doha. On images from June 25, the building is gone.

No people were injured in the attack on the military base in Qatar, which was Iran's response to the US bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities during the twelve-day war between Israel and Iran.

Shortly after the Qatar attack, US President Donald Trump announced that the parties had agreed on a ceasefire.
