Qatar has strongly condemned Iran’s renewed attacks on Jordan and Kuwait, calling them a “flagrant violation” of both countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as a breach of international law and the U.N. Charter.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, Qatar warned that the attacks could further escalate tensions in the region and undermine diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis. It called for an immediate end to all military operations and urged all parties to return to dialogue and negotiations.
The ministry said the continued attacks represent a dangerous escalation that could make it more difficult to ease tensions and undermine political and diplomatic efforts aimed at ensuring security and stability in the region.
Qatar also reaffirmed its full solidarity with Jordan and Kuwait, and expressed support for the measures both countries are taking to protect their sovereignty and security.
