An image from June shows a scorch mark where a geodesic dome used to be at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

Satellite images show that an Iranian missile strike against the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a critical site for the U.S. military 's operations in the region, likely destroyed a geodesic dome housing key secure communications equipment used by American forces.

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard insisted the air base had been the "target of a destructive and powerful missile attack".
