Qatar says attacks on region’s energy facilities have global repercussions

  • Qatar foreign ministry spokesperson said attacks on energy facilities are a dangerous precedent that will cause economic loss in the region and as well as global repercussions

DOHA: Qatar warned on Tuesday that attacks on regional energy infrastructure during the Middle East war would be felt economically throughout the world.

“The attacks on energy facilities that have happened, also on both sides, are a dangerous precedent … it will cause repercussions throughout the world,” foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said.  

Iran has pressed its attacks against Qatar's infrastructure, he said. 

“The targeting of civilian infrastructure continues... and we rebuke any justification that the Iranians are offering for these attacks,” Al-Ansari said. 

On Iran, the foreign ministry spokesperson said the Iranian president's statement of apology has not been translated into action, as Gulf cities continue to be targeted by Iranian missiles. 

Separately, Qatar’s defense ministry said it has intercepted on Tuesday a missile attack targeting the state.
