Iran maintains attack was meant to target US, not Qatar
Iran's Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that while Iran "shattered" the US air base in Qatar, the attack in no way "presents any danger to Qatar or its people".
The statement added that Iran "remains committed to maintaining and continuing its warm and historic relations" with Qatar.
The statement by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, quoted by Iran's state media, said the "number of missiles used were the same number as bombs the US had used on three Iranian nuclear sites".
Qatar's government said that its air defence systems had intercepted all of the Iranian missiles.
