In the midst of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, President Trump commended Iran for their restraint after a missile strike targeted a critical U.S. military base, Al Udeid Air Base, in Qatar. Despite Iran's firing of 14 missiles, the Pentagon reported no injuries, prompting Trump to declare it a moment to pursue harmony in the region.

In a surprising turn of events, President Trump advocates for peace following Iran's missile attack, which resulted in no casualties.
On June 23, 2025, the situation escalated as Iran retaliated against U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities with an assault on the Al Udeid base. The missiles, aimed at demonstrating Iran's military capability, resulted in a significant event but were largely intercepted by American defenses, with only one missile landing harmlessly. In social media posts, President Trump thanked Iran for their advance warning, suggesting that it helped avert potential casualties. He framed the missile attack as a "very weak response" and expressed a desire to move towards "Peace and Harmony in the Region."
The backdrop to this tension came just days after the U.S. had targeted several Iranian nuclear sites, utilizing a squadron of stealth bombers and submarines to carry out significant strikes on facilities critical to Iran's nuclear development. Although damage was reported, the sites were not entirely destroyed, leading to Iran's military response. Trump's remarks and the seemingly minimal damage caused by Iran's retaliation have stirred hope for de-escalation in the fraught relationship between the two nations.
