Iranian attack on US base
Angry Qatar said - retaliation is our right; Indian Embassy alert
Iran has also responded to the attack on three nuclear centers by America. Iran has launched a missile attack on the US airbase Al Udeid in Qatar late on Monday night. Iran announced the attack on state television and called it a powerful and successful response against US aggression. Qatar has strongly condemned this attack by Iran. Qatar Prime Minister's advisor and official spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Majid Al Ansari said that Qatar reserves the right to take appropriate action in response to this attack.
PM's advisor Ansari posted a post on X after the Iranian attack. He said, 'Qatar strongly condemns the attack by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard targeting the Al-Udeid airbase. We consider it a gross violation of Qatar's sovereignty, airspace, international law and the United Nations Charter. We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate action, under international law, in response to this open attack.'
Qatar's air defence successfully intercepted Iranian missiles
Ansari further said that Qatar's air defence successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles. No casualties were reported in the attack. He said the air base had already been evacuated as a precaution. Ansari warned that the continuation of such aggressive military actions would undermine security and stability in the region, which could lead to disastrous consequences for international peace and security. He said that we call for an immediate halt to all military actions and a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue.
Dialogue is the only way to ensure peace
Ansari further said that Qatar was one of the first countries to warn against the growing threat of Israel in the region. We have consistently called for giving priority to diplomatic solutions and stressed the importance of being good neighbours and avoiding escalation of tensions. We reaffirm that dialogue is the only way to overcome the current crises and ensure the security of the region and the peace of its people.
