Tehran, March 17 (Sputnik/UNI) Iran attacked a US base in Qatar and missile defence infrastructure in Israel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.

“The 57th phase of Operation True Promise 4 was successfully carried out against targets in the heart of the occupied territories, which included command and communication infrastructure, as well as missile defense infrastructure,” the IRGC was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency on Monday.

The IRGC added that it attacked the US Al Udeid air base in Qatar, using Zolfaghar and Qiam missiles, as well as attack drones, the statement added.

Iran has been striking Israeli territory and US military targets in West Asia in response to a joint military operation launched by the United States and Israel on February 28. The first day of military action saw Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed and a girls’ school in southern Iran bombed.

Iran puts the death toll at over 1,200.
