The State of Qatar has strongly condemned an Iranian attack on an Emirati ADNOC tanker while it was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar considers the attack a clear violation of international law, freedom of maritime navigation, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817. In a statement on Saturday, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed its firm opposition to using the Strait as a means of exerting pressure.
The Ministry demanded the Strait's immediate reopening and emphasized that the ongoing closure threatens the interests of regional nations and the global economy. They stressed the urgent need to stop Iran's unjustified attacks on the assets of allied countries, while simultaneously reaffirming their unwavering solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and support for any measures taken to safeguard its assets.
