Qatar has vehemently denounced the Iranian assault on two UAE oil tankers sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, branding it a severe breach of international law and the freedom of navigation. The Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly rejected the use of the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip and demanded its immediate reopening.
The ministry emphasized that freedom of passage through this crucial waterway is a fundamental principle that cannot be violated, warning that its closure endangers the economic well-being of regional nations and the global economy.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), in its condemnation of the Iranian attacks on the ADNOC tankers, described the acts as brutal and repeated escalations that jeopardize maritime security and global trade. GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly reaffirmed the GCC's unyielding support for the UAE and its resolve to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and interests.
