Reconsider travel to Qatar due to the threat of drone and missile attacks and the heightened regional security environment resulting from the US-Iran conflict.
Qatar faces an elevated threat from the ongoing regional conflict. Qatar hosts a major US military installation (Al Udeid Air Base), which has been identified as a potential target for Iranian retaliatory action. Shelter-in-place advisories have been issued for foreign nationals in Qatar. While Qatar maintains diplomatic channels with Iran, the presence of coalition military infrastructure on its territory places it within the threat envelope of the broader conflict. Drone and missile threats from Iran and Iran-aligned groups pose a risk to civilian areas, particularly near military and government installations. Flight disruptions may occur at short notice. Kaharagian nationals should reconsider all travel to Qatar. Those in the country should monitor local security alerts, identify shelter locations, avoid military installations and large gatherings, and maintain contingency plans for departure.
