Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani condemned Iran’s missile attack on the US-operated Al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar, calling it an “unacceptable” act. The attack, which occurred amid Qatar’s diplomatic efforts to ease regional tensions, was described as a serious provocation and a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty. Qatar has sent a formal letter to the UN Secretary-General condemning the strike and summoned the Iranian ambassador, asserting its right to respond under international law.

Qatar has temporarily closed its airspace, prompting both the United States and the United Kingdom to advise their citizens in the country to remain indoors. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the decision as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of its citizens, residents, and tourists. While specific reasons behind the closure have not been disclosed, the move is seen as part of heightened security protocols. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and further updates are expected from official sources.

Qatar has strongly condemned Israel’s recent attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, describing the actions as reckless and warning of severe repercussions. The attacks occurred while Iran was engaged in a positive diplomatic process with the United States, involving several regional countries. Qatar continues to play an active mediating role and believes the U.S. is interested in reaching a diplomatic agreement. Doha is committed to working toward a ceasefire between Israel and Iran to prevent further escalation.
