Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Majed Al Ansari, says the targeting of Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat near the Strait of Hormuz was an unacceptable attack on the security of international navigation and global energy supplies.
Describing the incident as a clear violation of international law, he urges Iran to immediately halt actions threatening regional security and maritime navigation, and says Tehran bears full legal responsibility for the attack and any resulting damage or consequences.
