Doha, Qatar: Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Majed Al Ansari has warned that the attack on Oman sets a dangerous precedent, threatening the role of mediators.
In a social media post, published in Arabic and English, the official said, "The deliberate targeting of the Sultanate of Oman, a country that has made sincere efforts to mediate and prevent bloodshed, and has sought to keep the door to diplomacy open until the last moment, is an attack on the very principle of mediation. As we warned when Qatar was targeted for its mediation, this attack represents a dangerous pattern that threatens the role of mediators and undermines one of the most important tools for containing crises and preserving peace and stability."
The State of Qatar has strongly condemned the Iranian attacks targeting the commercial port of Duqm in Oman and an oil tanker off its coast.
Qatar affirmed full solidarity with Oman in all measures it takes to preserve its sovereignty, security and stability.
