Nine days after the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran, Tehran’s counterattacks are still ongoing. A video, reportedly filmed in Qatar, shows the chaos faced by people living near US military bases as the strikes continue.
In the video, a man speaks in Hindi while explosions erupt in the background and projectiles light up the night sky.

Inside the shocking video: What you need to know
In the video, the man says, "Yeh dekho, abhi America ka base hai, hum pass mein hi rehta hai, yeh dekho, abhi Iran jo attack kar raha hai na, aisa maar raha hai, ki abhi agar gir gaya idhar ek bhi toh humara room udd jayega." (Look at this, there's an American base right here, we live very close to it, look, Iran is attacking right now, hitting so hard that if even one lands here, our room will be blown away.)

He says further, "Pura room hil raha hai, humari jaan khatre mein hai, pata nahin bach payenge ya nahin." (The whole room is shaking, our lives are in danger, we don't know if we'll make it out alive.)
At the end, he says, "Ae chacha idhar dhyaan dena, idhar toh nahin gir jayega." (Hey, uncle, pay attention here, it won't fall here, will it?)
The footage ends abruptly amid the man’s yelling, "Bhago yahan se chacha." (Run from here, Uncle.)

Qatar is home to the region’s largest US military base, Al Udeid. Since the war began, Iran has fired several missiles at Qatar. The attacks happened after Israel and the US carried out strikes on Iran. The strikes started on February 28. On the first day of the attacks, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed.
Iran’s retaliation was not limited to Israel. It spread to other countries in the region. Iran has launched strikes on Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, and Azerbaijan. Because of these attacks, the whole Gulf region has now become an active war zone.
Apology and defiance: Iran’s dual message
On Saturday, Masoud Pezeshkian apologised to neighbouring countries for the attacks. However, he also said that Iran would defend itself if needed. "I must apologise on my own behalf and on behalf of Iran to the neighbouring countries that were attacked by Iran... no missiles will be fired unless an attack on Iran originates from those countries," he said.
Responding to Trump, who demanded "unconditional surrender" from Tehran, Pezeshkian asserted that Tehran would "not surrender."
He added, "The enemies must take their wish for the surrender of the Iranian people to their graves."
