Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned on Tuesday Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the State of Qatar HE Ali Salehabadi, and reiterated the State of Qatar's strong condemnation of the attack on Al-Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, considering it a blatant violation of its sovereignty and airspace, as well as of the international law and the United Nations Charter. It also affirmed that the State of Qatar reserves the right to respond to this flagrant violation in accordance with international law.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs HE Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi affirmed to the Iranian Ambassador that this violation is completely inconsistent with the principle of good neighborliness and the close relations that exist between the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Iran-especially considering that Qatar has always advocated for dialogue with Iran and has made considerable diplomatic efforts in this regard.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs also emphasised the urgent need to immediately return to dialogue and diplomatic channels to resolve disputes and outstanding issues, avoid escalation, and halt military operations in an effort to promote regional and international stability.
