installation in ░░░░░░░░ region is the air ░░░░░░░░ in Qatar which we ░░░░░░░░ all been watching throughout ░░░░░░░░ breaking news this afternoon ░░░░░░░░ 000 Americans are base ░░░░░░░░ New video of Iranian ░░░░░░░░ targeting that base but ░░░░░░░░ we know that the ░░░░░░░░ States intercepted all of ░░░░░░░░ missiles None of them ░░░░░░░░ able to penetrate the ░░░░░░░░ S forces that were ░░░░░░░░ President Trump was just ░░░░░░░░ that base about a ░░░░░░░░ ago Right now he ░░░░░░░░ in the White House ░░░░░░░░ his national security team ░░░░░░░░ the Situation Room as ░░░░░░░░ take a look at ░░░░░░░░ of this in terms ░░░░░░░░ the incoming and how ░░░░░░░░ was deflected and what ░░░░░░░░ be coming next We ░░░░░░░░ that coverage for you ░░░░░░░░ Yingst live in Tel ░░░░░░░░ First to Jennifer Griffith ░░░░░░░░ at the Pentagon as ░░░░░░░░ continue to assess what ░░░░░░░░ and look towards what ░░░░░░░░ be coming next reporter ░░░░░░░░ to correct one point ░░░░░░░░ defenses in conjunction with ░░░░░░░░ qataris intercepted all those ░░░░░░░░ missiles fired and several ░░░░░░░░ fired at the base ░░░░░░░░ Qatar Between five and ░░░░░░░░ 000 service members are ░░░░░░░░ at al udeid but ░░░░░░░░ reported that there were ░░░░░░░░ images that suggested that ░░░░░░░░ base had sort of ░░░░░░░░ a lot of the ░░░░░░░░ aircraft that were typically ░░░░░░░░ the tarmac clearly preparing ░░░░░░░░ the event that Iran ░░░░░░░░ strike back if the ░░░░░░░░ S were to take ░░░░░░░░ in around which it ░░░░░░░░ this weekend But we ░░░░░░░░ report that there are ░░░░░░░░ U S injuries no ░░░░░░░░ S deaths caused not ░░░░░░░░ any damage to the ░░░░░░░░ caused by those incoming ░░░░░░░░ missiles They heavily some ░░░░░░░░ showing very dramatic footage ░░░░░░░░ the ballistic missiles being ░░░░░░░░ from their launch pads ░░░░░░░░ the desert That is ░░░░░░░░ for domestic consumption I ░░░░░░░░ say And a saving ░░░░░░░░ face if you will ░░░░░░░░ the Iranian regime after ░░░░░░░░ U S struck with ░░░░░░░░ b 2 bombers the ░░░░░░░░ nuclear sites this weekend ░░░░░░░░ basically embarrass the regime ░░░░░░░░ the air defenses nor ░░░░░░░░ air force had any ░░░░░░░░ that the b 2 ░░░░░░░░ above them until the ░░░░░░░░ were dropped Right now ░░░░░░░░ understand that the Iranians ░░░░░░░░ promised parity for the ░░░░░░░░ of missiles that the ░░░░░░░░ S launch this week ░░░░░░░░ against Iran if you ░░░░░░░░ there were 30 tomahawk ░░░░░░░░ fired from a submarine ░░░░░░░░ then 14 penetrators the ░░░░░░░░ 000 pound bunker buster ░░░░░░░░ which would mean that ░░░░░░░░ would likely have to ░░░░░░░░ 40 for missiles at ░░░░░░░░ S Bases in order ░░░░░░░░ have that parity There ░░░░░░░░ half a dozen or ░░░░░░░░ missiles fired at Qatar ░░░░░░░░ We do understand that ░░░░░░░░ strike is likely over ░░░░░░░░ qataris are going to ░░░░░░░░ in the next few ░░░░░░░░ Their defense ministry and ░░░░░░░░ ministry pick the qataris ░░░░░░░░ long been a mediator ░░░░░░░░ Iran and the United ░░░░░░░░ and Israel so that ░░░░░░░░ extremely angry putting out ░░░░░░░░ statement suggesting that this ░░░░░░░░ by Iran was unwarranted ░░░░░░░░ of course the Saudis ░░░░░░░░ condemned the attack by ░░░░░░░░ no surprise there but ░░░░░░░░ will say that other ░░░░░░░░ across the Middle East ░░░░░░░░ on high alert including ░░░░░░░░ Iraq tonight We heard ░░░░░░░░ defense sirens suggest and ░░░░░░░░ at various bases from ░░░░░░░░ Kuwait on hilar and ░░░░░░░░ S embassy personnel have ░░░░░░░░ told to shelter in ░░░░░░░░ Martha quickly what does ░░░░░░░░ tell us about the ░░░░░░░░ that they still have ░░░░░░░░ we know they have ░░░░░░░░ finite number of ballistic ░░░░░░░░ in their arsenal and ░░░░░░░░ use quite a bit ░░░░░░░░ them What they do ░░░░░░░░ have a finite number ░░░░░░░░ tens of thousands of ░░░░░░░░ range missiles the short ░░░░░░░░ missiles they could be ░░░░░░░░ that are launched from ░░░░░░░░ in the Persian Gulf ░░░░░░░░ can cause a lot ░░░░░░░░ damage It s only ░░░░░░░░ few minutes flying time ░░░░░░░░ Iran to Qatar for ░░░░░░░░ or two bases in ░░░░░░░░ or Kuwait so the ░░░░░░░░ states and the U ░░░░░░░░ states are still targets ░░░░░░░░ thousands of short range ░░░░░░░░ and it s very ░░░░░░░░ for even the Israelis ░░░░░░░░ have been tracking and ░░░░░░░░ out about two thirds ░░░░░░░░ their ballistic missile launchers ░░░░░░░░ is extremely significant and ░░░░░░░░ and that s why ░░░░░░░░ see a small number ░░░░░░░░ ballistic missiles each night ░░░░░░░░ Iran much smaller than ░░░░░░░░ initial ones Originally win ░░░░░░░░ war with Israel started ░░░░░░░░ knew that the Iranians ░░░░░░░░ about 100 long range ░░░░░░░░ missile launchers but they ░░░░░░░░ not be using those ░░░░░░░░ for U S Bases ░░░░░░░░ the gulf they could ░░░░░░░░ short arranged missiles and ░░░░░░░░ have an infinite number ░░░░░░░░ those and they are ░░░░░░░░ hard to take out ░░░░░░░░ launchers because they are ░░░░░░░░ and move around in ░░░░░░░░ desert and they can ░░░░░░░░ in a very short ░░░░░░░░ of time Martha we ░░░░░░░░ learn in the coming ░░░░░░░░ with their capabilities are ░░░░░░░░ how they choose to ░░░░░░░░ them Thank you very ░░░░░░░░ Let s go to ░░░░░░░░ Yingst reporting live from ░░░░░░░░ Aviv What is the ░░░░░░░░ from where you are ░░░░░░░░ the entire region looking ░░░░░░░░ Qatar this evening following ░░░░░░░░ Iranian strike on
