Qatar's Foreign Ministry condemned a reported missile attack on a tanker operated by the United Arab Emirates' ADNOC while crossing the Strait of Hormuz in a statement dated 8 August 2026. The ministry attributed the incident to Iran and described it as a threat to maritime navigation.
The statement urged unrestricted passage through the strait, rejected the use of the waterway as leverage and expressed solidarity with the UAE. These allegations and positions are attributed to Qatar's announcement; the statement does not independently establish the incident's full circumstances.
