Qatar condemned attacks it attributed to Iran against its territory and Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait in a Foreign Ministry statement issued on 17 July 2026. It characterized the incidents as violations of sovereignty and warned that continued escalation could undermine diplomatic efforts.
The ministry said Qatar reserved its right to respond under international law, including Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and called for a comprehensive halt to military action and renewed negotiations. These legal and factual assertions are attributed to Qatar's official position.
