Additionally, the US embassy located in Qatar has instructed its personnel to take shelter in response to the escalating situation.

The Pentagon has yet to issue a public response to requests for comments regarding the strikes.

In a statement, US President Donald Trump characterized the coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel as a necessary measure to mitigate immediate threats posed by the Iranian government. He stated, "A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world," via his Truth Social account.
