The State of Qatar has strongly condemned the Islamic Republic of Iran for targeting the Saudi tanker SIDR while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in the loss of crew members. This act is deemed a clear violation of international law, freedom of navigation, and a direct breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly rejected the use of the Strait of Hormuz as a tool for exerting pressure. They have called for the Strait to be reopened unconditionally, emphasizing that freedom of navigation through this crucial waterway is a non-negotiable principle. The Ministry also warned that the ongoing closure of the Strait endangers the vital interests of regional countries and the global economy.
It has been stressed that Iran's unjustified attacks on the property of neighboring countries must cease, and Qatar reaffirms its full support for Saudi Arabia and stands ready to back any measures taken by the Kingdom to protect its assets.
