Qatar's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that “evidence on the ground” disproved the Iranian claim and decried the strikes as a “flagrant violation” of Qatar’s sovereignty.

Military and paramilitary headquarters struck by the IAF include the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) headquarters, the Basij paramilitary headquarters, and the Quds Force headquarters.

As the US’s Operation Epic Fury and Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion continue to pummel the Iranian regime, Trump stated that the regime is being “decimated.”

Iranian news agencies reported that the building was "flattened" during the Israeli strikes.

According to a Reuters report, a loud blast was heard before the fire broke out, and smoke was seen rising over Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter, which houses foreign missions.

Semi-official IRGC news outlet Tasnim reported that two explosions were witnessed in the area of the broadcasting building.

This attack marked Hezbollah's first action against Israel's northern regions since 2024, officially joining the conflict alongside Iran.

Trump confirmed in a video posted on Truth Social that three US service members had been killed and said there would likely be more casualties, vowing to avenge the deaths of Americans.

Iran and its proxies may attempt direct military action, and mobilize terror attacks or sabotage activity within Israel in retaliation for US strikes, the Alma Research and Education Center analyzed.

According to the AFP report, the explosion came after at least one jet was heard flying over the city and was followed by sounds of gunfire.
