Qatar has arrested 313 individuals, including foreign nationals, for allegedly sharing images and misleading information related to Iran’s recent attacks. The country’s Ministry of Interior announced the arrests on Monday, stating that those detained had recorded and distributed videos and rumors that could incite public unrest. The arrests were carried out by the Economic and Cyber Crime Department under the Criminal Investigation Division.

The crackdown comes as Iran continues drone and missile strikes across several Middle Eastern countries, targeting airports, military bases, energy facilities, and residential areas in retaliation for Israeli and U.S. attacks. Other Gulf nations have also taken similar actions. Bahrain reported four arrests on March 6 for spreading false information about Iranian attacks, while Kuwait detained three people on March 7 for mocking the situation in videos.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have issued warnings against sharing sensitive images or unverified information, emphasizing legal consequences for such actions. Despite these warnings, visuals of missile strikes and war damage continue to circulate on social media.
