Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani held phone calls with the foreign ministers of three neighboring countries to discuss escalating military tension and naval security threats in the Gulf region.
According to a statement from Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Al Thani spoke separately with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.
The talks assessed the military tension that has emerged between the US and Iran in the last two days and the attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Qatar's Prime Minister Al Thani strongly condemned these attacks, which took place despite efforts to reduce tension in the region. He stated that the attacks would undermine trust between the parties, threaten the security of international maritime navigation, and harm regional security and stability efforts.
Al Thani highlighted the importance of all parties adhering to the principles of dialogue and diplomacy. He noted that implementing the agreements reached under the memorandum of understanding would contribute to ensuring security in the region, preserving the gains achieved, and strengthening stability.
The Qatari prime minister reiterated his country's support for all initiatives aimed at curbing tension and reaching a comprehensive agreement that would establish security, stability, and lasting peace in the region. Al Thani added that Qatar is ready to continue pursuing diplomatic solutions.
