Iran Hits US Air Command Center in Qatar as Ops Shift to Shaw AFB
Iranian missiles struck the Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, severely damaging the facility which was not in use at the time; no injuries were reported, and the ongoing Epic Fury air campaign continued from Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, with Al Udeid’s CAOC operating in a reduced or parallel role. The incident underscores the need to disperse and harden critical command centers for future operations.
