Iran Launches Missile Symphony Across Six Countries, Orchestra Mostly Misses Notes
KEY POINTS
- â˘Iran launched missile strikes on US bases in six Middle Eastern countries following US and Israeli attacks.
- â˘Several nations reported successful missile intercepts, but Abu Dhabi recorded one death and infrastructure damage due to falling debris.
- â˘The escalating conflict forced regional airspace closures, causing widespread flight cancellations and disruption.
In a plot twist reminiscent of a regional fire drill gone sideways, Iran launched its 'missile tour' hitting six countries after a US-Israel Saturday morning wake-up shot. Targets included American bases from Bahrain's Navy 5th Fleet's HQ (missiles intercepted, secrets intact) to Qatarâs Al Udeid, the biggest US playground in the Middle East, all while Qatar proudly claimed to dodge three missile waves like a pro dodgeball champ. Jordan got in the mix with two failed missile love notes, but managed cleanup from a dozen debris incidents. Abu Dhabi wasn't as lucky: report of one casualty and infrastructure sushi courtesy of falling missile sushi platter, with local Al Dhafra Air Base (hosting US forces) in the crosshairs. Kuwait, hosting US Al Salem Air Base, VIP missile target, confirmed interceptions but kept hush on success. Meanwhile, Iranians panic-flee Tehran as Israel shoots back, allegedly killing 51 kids in a devastating strike to a girlsâ elementary school, trying to rewrite blast radius from one school to 'large-scale conflict.' President Trump chimed in from the sidelines promising to 'destroyâ Iranâs missile program and navy in an epic game of military whack-a-mole, emphasizing noble missions and potential American casualties like optional side effects. Oh, and flights everywhere ground to a halt â because apparently regional missile drama is bad for business. Welcome to the Middle Eastâs latest installment of Boom Boom No Show.

If debris had a fan club, Abu Dhabi would be president by now. Meanwhile, US bases play the worldâs most stressful game of missile whack-a-mole.
