Iran and Israel have not officially commented on the ceasefire deal so far.

Developments in Qatar

Retaliating against the US attack on three of its key nuclear sites, Iran attacked a US-run airbase in Qatar and Iraq after Washington DC joined the Israel camp during its conflict with Tehran, Iranian state TV reported.

The mission, called the "Annunciation of Victory," is focused on Al Udeid Air Base, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Saturday's Action

The attack comes after the US early on Saturday bombed Iran's three nuclear sites. The sites are Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

B-2 bombers took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri in the early morning hours of Saturday (US time) to carry out the strikes.

The attack was carried out as the US joined the conflict that started a week ago when Israel launched airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military sites, primarily targeting uranium enrichment facilities to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
