US protests Iranian presence at Doha defense expo
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
The US State Department condemns Qatar’s hosting of Iranian military officials at the Doha Defense Show in Qatar.
“We utterly reject their presence at the show and its maritime defense exhibit, as it is Iran that is the biggest threat to maritime stability in the Gulf region,” the State Department says in a statement.
“Transactions related to Iranian weapons are generally sanctionable under multiple US authorities, including sanctions related to terrorism and weapons of mass destruction,” the statement adds.
