Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani that Iranian missile attacks were directed at U.S. interests and not at Qatar.
Qatar's top diplomat "categorically rejected" that claim and called for an immediate halt to Iran’s attacks, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said on X.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman said his country would confront any aggression with its "right to self-defence," stressing that Doha has always been inclined towards dialogue and diplomacy conducted in good faith.
