Qatar has issued an urgent call for de-escalation and a return to diplomatic channels following the United States' entry into Israel's military campaign against Iranian nuclear facilities.
In a statement released Saturday on X (formerly Twitter), the Qatari Foreign Ministry emphasized the critical need to halt all military operations and resume dialogue to address ongoing tensions in the region.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses the need to halt all military operations and immediately return to dialogue and diplomatic paths to resolve outstanding issues," the statement read in Arabic.
Warning of Broader Consequences
The ministry further cautioned that the current heightened tensions could have far-reaching implications beyond the Middle East. "The dangerous tension currently prevailing in the region will have serious repercussions at both the regional and international levels," the statement warned.
Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful conflict resolution, stating it supports "all regional and international efforts aimed at resolving disputes and crises through peaceful means, in order to consolidate peace and stability in the region."
This diplomatic intervention comes at a critical moment as tensions escalate following the American military's decision to join Israeli operations targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
The situation remains fluid, with Iran's Foreign Minister reportedly stating that the US strikes have "blown up" diplomatic efforts, raising concerns about potential retaliatory actions and further destabilization in an already volatile region.
Analysts suggest that Qatar's intervention reflects growing concern among Gulf states about the potential for a wider regional conflict that could threaten economic stability and security throughout the Middle East.
