Iranian President expresses regret to Qatari Emir for damages caused by Al-Udeid attack

In a Tuesday phone call, Pezeshkian noted that the State of Qatar and its people were not the intended targets of this operation, and that the attack does not constitute a threat, according to Qatari news agency (QNA).

Emir of Qatar also said that this violation is completely inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness and the close relations between the two countries, especially that Qatar has always advocated for dialogue with Iran and has made significant diplomatic efforts in this regard. The Emir stressed the urgent need to immediately halt military operations and to seriously return to the negotiation table and to dialogue in order to overcome this crisis and safeguard the region's security and its peoples' safety.
