A State Department staff member said in the department's “Week at State” weekly video that President Trump ordered U.S. military strikes last weekend that “dismantled Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity,” and that Iran responded by launching missiles aimed at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, many of which "were successfully intercepted," the staff member said.

The statement also said President Trump and “secretary Rubio” joined at the NATO summit in The Hague and that allies had committed to “commit 5% of their GDP annually to defense spending,” language the staff member called a landmark agreement. The video further noted that Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau led the U.S. delegation to the Organization of American States General Assembly in Antigua and Barbuda to “advance regional goals” and support Rosa Maria Peia’s candidacy for the Inter‑American Commission on Human Rights.

Why this matters: The video summarizes several high‑level foreign policy developments the department presented as wins for U.S. diplomacy and security. If confirmed independently, the claims about strikes on Iranian enrichment infrastructure and any missiles fired at Al Udeid Air Base would represent significant military and diplomatic events. The NATO pledge to target 5% of GDP for defense spending, if enacted by allies, would mark a notable shift from usual alliance targets.

The video framed the missile incidents as averted harm: “Many of those missiles were successfully intercepted due to the combined efforts of United States and Qatari Armed Forces, preventing any Americans or Qataris from getting hurt,” the staff member said. On NATO, the staff member said the president “successfully brokered a landmark agreement with NATO allies to dramatically increase their contributions to the alliance and commit 5% of their GDP annually to defense spending.”

The segment on the Organization of American States said Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau attended the OAS General Assembly in Antigua and Barbuda, where the U.S. delegation aimed to advance regional priorities, back a candidate for the Inter‑American Commission on Human Rights and address issues in Haiti.

The video did not provide dates for the strikes or a public, independent record verifying the department’s characterization of the military actions or of a formal NATO treaty change; those details were not specified in the transcript provided. The transcript likewise did not include statements from Qatari or NATO officials confirming the described intercepts or the exact text of any NATO commitment.
