Qatar has strongly condemned the targeting of the Al-Rekayat tanker while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz, describing the incident as a serious violation of international law and a threat to maritime security and global energy supplies.
In a statement posted on X, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said the attack constituted "an aggression against the security and safety of international navigation, and the security of global energy supplies."
Al-Ansari described the incident as "a grave and explicit violation of the provisions of international law," particularly the rules that guarantee the freedom of maritime navigation and safe passage through international straits.
The spokesperson called on the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately cease all actions that undermine regional security, threaten international navigation and endanger global energy supplies.
He added that Qatar holds Iran fully legally responsible for the attack, as well as for any damages and consequences arising from the incident.
The statement underscores Qatar's continued support for protecting international shipping routes and maintaining the security and stability of one of the world's most strategically important maritime corridors.
