Qatar shuts down airspace temporarily as Iran fires missiles at a US base

# Iran fired missiles at a US base in Qatar, with explosions heard in the capital city of Doha yesterday evening. This comes after Qatar temporarily closed its airspace, forcing planes to divert away from Doha, saying this is a precautionary measure due to regional security concerns. Both the US and UK embassies also advised their citizens to shelter in place. Meanwhile, French national carrier Air France has suspended all scheduled flights to Tel Aviv, Israel, until July 14, citing security concerns.
