Donald Trump made statements following the missile attack Iran carried out on the US base in Qatar. Trump assessed the attack as ineffective.

Here are the highlights from Trump's statement:

US President Donald Trump, in his statement regarding the attack Iran carried out on the Al-Udeid Base in Qatar, said, "I want to thank Iran for providing advance warning, which ensured there were no casualties or injuries."

US President Donald Trump made a statement via his social media account following the missile attack Iran carried out on the US-owned Al-Udeid Base in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Stating that Iran's military response to the US operation targeting nuclear facilities was "quite weak, as expected," Trump said, "Iran has officially given a very weak response to our destruction of their nuclear facilities, which is what we expected."

Explaining that Iran fired 14 missiles in the attack on the Al-Udeid Base in Qatar, that 13 were intercepted, and that one was not intervened with because it posed no threat, Trump said, "I am pleased to report that no Americans were harmed and almost no damage occurred. Most importantly, they have now gotten this anger out of their systems, and we hope there will be no more hatred."

Stating that Iran notified the US before the attack in question, Trump said, "I want to thank Iran for providing advance warning, which ensured there were no casualties or injuries. Perhaps Iran can now move toward a process of peace and harmony in the region, and I will eagerly encourage Israel to do the same."

Thanking the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Trump said, "I would like to thank the Honorable Emir of Qatar for all his efforts for peace in the region. Regarding the attack on the US base in Qatar today, I am pleased to report that neither Americans nor Qataris were injured or lost their lives."

In his final post, President Trump said, "Congratulations to the world, now it is time for peace."
