Qatar's Foreign Affairs Ministry summoned Iran Ambassador Ali Salehbadi and reiterated the country's strong condemnation of the attack on Al Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, considering it a blatant violation of its sovereignty and airspace, as well as of the international law and the United Nations Charter. It also affirmed that Qatar reserves the right to respond to this flagrant violation in accordance with international law.
Foreign Affairs Minister Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi affirmed to the Iranian Ambassador that this violation is completely inconsistent with the principle of good neighbourliness and the close relations that exist between the two countries, especially considering that Qatar has always advocated for dialogue with Iran and has made considerable diplomatic efforts in this regard.
The minister also emphasised the urgent need to immediately return to dialogue and diplomatic channels to resolve disputes and outstanding issues, avoid escalation, and halt military operations in an effort to promote regional and international stability.
