Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wapner, live from Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This maker break hour begins with breaking news. Iran responding to the U.S. attack on its nuclear

facilities within the past couple of hours. No deaths or injuries reported from a flurry of Iranian

missiles sent towards the U.S. airbase in Qatar. Reports say those missiles intercepted before

reaching their target.

Stocks, as you might imagine, they've been volatile given the news flow today. They are higher now.

Crude oil is worth watching, too. It is falling sharply. We'll have more on that coming up.

We do begin in Washington now, and our own Megan Kisela. What's the latest, Megan?

Hey, Scott, the U.S. had been breezing for this, but we can confirm now that this was

the first Iranian attack directly on U.S. forces. It was both short and long-range missiles

that were headed at Al-Udid, a U.S.-run airbase in Qatar. There's no current cause for concern

now, according to Qatar's Interior, just in the last few moments.

As you said, those missiles were intercepted.

And just in the last few moments, two defense officials also told NBC that they don't believe there was any damage done to that airbase at all.

Now, the U.S. is on alert for additional attacks throughout the region to White House officials had told NBC

news that the president Trump has been monitoring potential attacks not only in Qatar but also

in Bahrain and Iraq, potentially other countries as well. We know the airspace is shut down in

all of those countries currently as well as in the UAE and Kuwait. So potential concern for additional attacks throughout the region, although these are the only

confirmed attacks as of now are those in Qatar.

Now, Scott, we are also following reports that from the New York Times and others that the

Iranians may have given the Qataris a heads up that this attack was coming.

The US may have even been given a heads up as well in addition to that attack.
