President Donald Trump thanked Iran for giving America "early notice" about missiles the Islamic Republic fired at a U.S. military base outside of Doha, Qatar, on Monday.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered.

"There have been 14 missiles fired – 13 were knocked down, and 1 was 'set free,' because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done.

"Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their 'system,' and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE.

"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. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

In a follow-up message, Trump said: "I'd like to thank the Highly Respected Emir of Qatar for all that he has done in seeking Peace for the Region.

"Regarding the attack today at the American Base in Qatar, I am pleased to report that, in addition to no Americans being killed or wounded, very importantly, there have also been no Qataris killed or wounded. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The president wrapped up his thoughts in a final post indicating: "CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT'S TIME FOR PEACE!"

Analysts on Fox News suggested Monday's events could act as an "off-ramp" for all sides to end hostilities.
