Escalation of Tensions in the Region
Before the ceasefire news, a significant incident increased tensions in the region. Iran launched a limited missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in response to U.S. bombings of nuclear facilities in Iran.

Qatar described the attack as a clear violation of its sovereignty.
