"Iran is attacking Gulf countries without any reason and must stop its attacks because we are outside the conflict. Iran has been targeting US assets and civilian sites in Gulf countries since the US and Israel began bombing Iran on February 28. The attacks have killed more than 1,400 people in Iran and damaged military as well as civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, airports and sea ports."
"Iran must stop the attacks immediately so that a diplomatic solution to the crisis can be found. During Monday's news conference, al-Ansari noted that an Iranian media outlet said economic and civilian sites would be targeted—statements that the spokesman said Qatar takes seriously. Stopping the attacks requires a decision from Iran's foreign minister, and Qatar will defend itself."
"Qatar and other Gulf states have been urging Iran to halt its attacks, with the Qatari envoy to the United Nations last week describing the assault as a violation of international law and the UN Charter. Contacts are still ongoing with Gulf countries to ensure de-escalation and confront Iran's attacks. He added that there is currently no mediation between the US and Iran."
Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari called for Iran to immediately stop attacking Gulf countries, arguing that diplomatic solutions require de-escalation. He accused Iran of targeting civilian areas and stated that Gulf nations remain outside the conflict. Iran has conducted drone and missile attacks on US assets and civilian infrastructure since February 28, killing over 1,400 people in Iran and at least 15 in Israel. Qatar and other Gulf states view these attacks as violations of international law. Al-Ansari warned that Iran threatened to target economic and civilian sites, emphasizing Qatar's commitment to regional defense. He noted ongoing contacts with Gulf countries for de-escalation but confirmed no current US-Iran mediation exists.
