Qatar denounces Iranian attack on UAE oil tankers in Strait of Hormuz

Qatar has strongly condemned the Iranian attack that targeted two Emirati oil tankers affiliated with the ADNOC company while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, considering it a flagrant violation of the rules of international law and freedom of maritime navigation, and a blatant breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs renewed Qatar’s categorical rejection of the use of the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip, and in this context calls for its reopening without conditions.

It also affirmed that freedom of navigation in this vital passage is a firmly established principle that admits no compromise, and that the continued closure of the strait exposes the vital interests of the region's countries and the global economy to danger.

The ministry emphasized the necessity of stopping Iran’s unjustified aggression against the properties of brotherly countries, and at the same time affirmed Qatar’s full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its support for all measures it takes to preserve its properties.
