President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed Iran's retaliatory strikes against an American base in Qatar as "weak" and sought to draw a line under the US bombing of Iran's nuclear infrastructure by calling for regional peace.
Trump shrugged off Monday's launch of multiple missiles at the United States' Al Udeid base in Qatar, which Tehran said was in retaliation for the US strikes against three key Iranian nuclear sites.
According to the US president, Iran gave warning of the missile salvo, indicating that it wanted to avoid casualties.
"I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured," he added.

CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!
Trump said he hoped there would be an end to the war, which began with Israeli attacks aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear programme.
"Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same," Trump posted.
