Iran has pressed its attacks against Qatar’s infrastructure, the Gulf state’s foreign ministry spokesman says, over a week after Iranian drone strikes forced a halt to Qatari gas production.

“The targeting of civilian infrastructure continues… and we rebuke any justification that the Iranians are offering for these attacks,” Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari says, without specifying which civilian facilities had been targeted in Qatar.

He also warns that attacks on regional energy infrastructure during the war will 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,” he says.
