Iran launched an overnight drone attack on the US Al Udied airbase in Qatar, the biggest US base ‌in the Middle East, Qatari officials said. On the possibility of the Iranian Kurdish forces entering Iran from neighbouring Iraq, Trump told Reuters on Thursday: "I think it's wonderful that they want to do ⁠that, I'd be all for it." Two Iranian drone attacks targeted an Iranian opposition camp in Iraqi Kurdistan on Thursday, security sources said. B-2 bombers had dropped dozens of 2,000 penetrator bombs targeting deeply buried ballistic missile launchers, and bombings were also targeting Iran's missile production facilities, he said. Iran's ballistic missile attacks had decreased by 90% since the first day of the war, while drone attacks had decreased by 83%.
