Qatar PM says Iran attack on gas hub has ‘significant repercussions for global energy supplies’

Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani condemns Iran’s attacks on the state’s main gas hub after Tehran sent waves of attacks against Gulf energy infrastructure a day earlier.

“This attack has significant repercussions for global energy supplies. Such attacks bring no direct benefit to any country, rather, they harm and directly impact populations,” he tells a press conference following extensive damage to the Ras Laffan facility.

There were “persistent Iranian claims that these attacks are against American interests… and this claim is rejected and cannot be accepted,” Al Thani says.

“The clear proof of this is the attack that took place yesterday that targeted a natural gas facility in the State of Qatar,” he adds.
