From Fox News: The U.S. Embassy in Qatar told Americans to shelter in place until further notice Monday and Qatar temporarily closed its airspace following the weekend’s attacks on Iran.
“The competent Qatari authorities announce the temporary suspension of air traffic in the country’s airspace, in order to ensure the safety of citizens, residents, and visitors,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that it would “not hesitate to take all necessary preventive measures within this context.”
The ministry promised to update the public as developments arise.
The embassy said it made the recommendation “out of an abundance of caution” but provided no other details. Qatar is home to Al Udeid Air Base, where approximately 10,000 U.S. soldiers are deployed. The United Kingdom’s Qatar embassy issued a similar warning after the U.S.

The largest U.S. air base in the Middle East is Al Udeid in Qatar.
It hosts over 10,000 personnel and serves as CENTCOM’s forward HQ.
It makes sense Qatar shut its airspace. pic.twitter.com/1HTFR8mkDs
