The US entered the conflict nine days after it escalated: on the night of June 22, the US military attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities. On the evening of June 23, Tehran launched a missile strike on the largest US airbase in the Middle East, Al-Udeid, in Qatar. According to US authorities, there were no casualties and no significant damage was caused. Later, US President Donald Trump said that Israel and Iran had agreed to a complete ceasefire. The truce came into effect on June 24.
