Qatar says that its response to the Iranian attack on the Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar is a “sovereign” issue, after Iran attacked the base in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

“There are deep ties between the two states and the two nations, but the attack undoubtedly calls for a genuine meeting and a clear stance,” foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari says in a press conference, referring to Qatar and Iran.
