Qatar has vehemently denounced Iran's assault on two oil tankers belonging to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) as they navigated the Strait of Hormuz. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement expressing deep concern over the attack, labeling it a serious breach of international law, freedom of navigation, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
The ministry firmly dismissed the notion of utilizing the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip and urged its immediate reopening. It emphasized that the unimpeded passage through this critical waterway is a universally recognized principle that cannot be infringed upon, warning that the ongoing blockade jeopardizes the vital interests of regional nations and the global economy.
The ministry also demanded an end to Iran's unwarranted aggression targeting the properties of ally countries and reaffirmed its complete support for the UAE and all defensive actions taken by Abu Dhabi to safeguard its assets.
