Doha, Qatar: The State of Qatar condemned the targeting of two Emirati oil tankers while they were transiting the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a serious violation of the safety of international navigation, a direct threat to the security of global energy supplies, and a clear and explicit breach of international law.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the continuation of such unacceptable attacks represents a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region and undermines efforts aimed at strengthening regional peace and stability.

The Ministry reiterated Qatar's call on the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately cease any practices that threaten the security of the region, refrain from endangering international maritime navigation and global energy supplies, fully comply with the rules of international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, and take urgent measures to prevent the recurrence of such attacks.
