The strike followed witness reports of explosions heard over Doha, Qatar’s capital, as reported by Reuters.

Iran’s attacks come as a response to the US military strikes on its nuclear facilities, specifically the coordinated airstrikes carried out by the US targeting key Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

These strikes, announced by President Donald Trump, were intended to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

The digital asset hit as high as $102,600 earlier today before dropping under the six-figure threshold.
