Doha: The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned today the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the State, Ali Salehabadi, and expressed its strong protest, deep dissatisfaction, and categorical rejection of the targeting of Qatari territory. The ministry described the act as a blatant violation of Qatari sovereignty, a threat to its security, and a flagrant breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.
According to Emirates News Agency, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, conveyed to the Iranian ambassador that the repetition of such targeting constitutes a reckless and irresponsible act. He stated that such actions are completely inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness and the relations between the two countries.
Dr. Al Khulaifi further stressed that the continuation of these irresponsible actions would inevitably lead to serious repercussions for bilateral relations. He emphasized that the State of Qatar has consistently worked to support diplomatic solutions aimed at de-escalation in the region.
Additionally, Dr. Al Khulaifi highlighted that the targeting of Qatari territory has instilled fear among civilians and caused damage to residential areas. He underscored the urgent need for both parties to return immediately to dialogue and diplomatic channels to resolve differences and halt military operations that pose a direct threat to security and stability in the region.
