The State of Qatar strongly condemned the attack targeting two UAE oil tankers as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a serious violation of the safety of international navigation, a direct threat to global energy supplies, and a clear breach of international law.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the continuation of such unacceptable attacks represents a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability and undermines efforts to promote regional peace and stability.
The Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's call on the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately cease any practices that undermine regional security, refrain from jeopardizing the security of international navigation and global energy supplies, fully comply with international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, and take urgent measures to prevent the recurrence of such attacks.
