LONON/DUBAI: The Iranian missile attack which was intercepted by Qatar on Monday night when it launched missiles against US troops stationed at Al-Udeid Air Base comes as a major setback for peace in the region. As Iranian missiles lit up the sky over Doha in a retaliatory strike targeting the US military, a diplomatic solution to the Israel-Iran conflict, which has now drawn in the US, seemed further away than ever, with Tehran appearing to wash its hands of further nuclear talks.

Israel and Iran continue to trade attacks as US President Donald Trump hints at possible regime change in Tehran.

Tehran’s move escalates already volatile situation following US military’s entry into the Israel-Iran conflict.
