Qatar strongly condemns Iranian attack on two UAE oil tankers from ADNOC while passing Strait of Hormuz

Qatar has vehemently denounced Iran's assault on two oil tankers belonging to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as they traversed the Strait of Hormuz. The State of Qatar views this act as a grave breach of international law, the right to unrestricted maritime passage, and a direct contravention of UN Security Council resolution 2817.

In a recent statement, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its firm opposition to the use of the strategic waterway as a bargaining chip, urging its immediate and unconditionally reopening. The Ministry emphasized that the right to navigate this critical route is a non-negotiable principle, and the ongoing blockade threatens the economic well-being of regional nations and the global market.

Qatar's Ministry underscored the urgency of halting Iran's unjustified aggression against the assets of allied countries, expressing Qatar's unwavering solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its backing for all actions the UAE may undertake to safeguard its assets.
