Qatar’s Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi has called on the United States and Iran to return to the negotiating table to ease regional tensions. In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said that Iran’s attacks on neighboring countries would not benefit anyone and warned that continued escalation would harm all sides.

According to the report, Iran has been launching missile and drone strikes on Gulf and neighboring countries in retaliation for attacks by the United States and Israel. These strikes have caused casualties and damaged key infrastructure, severely disrupting the region’s energy-dependent economies. Al-Khulaifi expressed deep concern over the widespread assaults on civilian infrastructure and described the current situation as unfortunate.

Condemning what he termed “unjustified and heinous” attacks on Qatar’s sovereignty, the minister said his country would take all possible legal measures in self-defense. He reiterated that dialogue remains the only path toward a long-term and sustainable solution.
