President Donald Trump, in a social media post on June 23, indicated Iran gave advanced warning of its missile barrage targeting the U.S. military’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday afternoon.
