Doha, Qatar: The State of Qatar strongly condemned the renewed attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran against its territory, as well as against the territories of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Kuwait, saying that it considers these attacks a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the targeted states, and a blatant breach of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the principles of good neighborliness.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the continuation of these attacks constitutes a dangerous escalation that will complicate efforts to contain tensions and undermine political and diplomatic endeavors aimed at achieving security and stability in the region, and that the Qatar holds the Islamic Republic of Iran fully legally responsible for these attacks and their resulting repercussions and consequences.
The Ministry affirmed that the State of Qatar reserves its full right to respond, in accordance with the provisions of international law and Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and citizens.
Qatar reiterated its full solidarity with the sisterly states and its support for all legitimate measures they take to preserve their sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
The Ministry stresses the need for an immediate and complete cessation of all military actions and attacks that threaten the security and stability of the region, refraining from anything that would widen the circle of escalation, a serious return to the path of dialogue and negotiations, and commitment to the understandings achieved through diplomatic efforts.
