WASHINGTON — President Trump does not plan to take further action against Iran following its “failed retaliation” strike on a US base in Qatar Monday night, a military official told The Post.
“As long as it stands, Trump has no intention of retaliating for the ‘failed retaliation,’” the source said, suggesting that tensions in the Middle East will soon de-escalate following Saturday’s US strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
Tehran launched a total of 10 missiles at the Al Udeid Air Base, nine of which were intercepted, according to the official.

The source also told The Post the missile launches appear to have been coordinated, with Qatar allowing itself to be targeted to “save face.”
