By Andrew Mills, Parisa Hafezi and Alexander Cornwell DOHA/ISTANBUL/TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Iran's military said on Monday it had carried out a "devastating and powerful" missile attack on the Al Udeid U.

Ranking diplomats from Iran and Qatar underlined the two countries’ determination to maintain friendly relations after a retaliatory missile strike by Iran against an American airbase near Doha on Monday evening raised concerns about the complication of situation in the region.

Amid rising tensions after US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran claimed attacks on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, following airspace closure in Doha.
