Qatar condemns Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities

Qatar has issued a strong rebuke of Israel’s recent strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling the move reckless and dangerous.

Speaking at a press conference in Doha, foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari warned that Israel’s actions would have “very dire repercussions” for the region.

Ansari said the Israeli attack came at a moment when Iran had been pursuing a “positive diplomatic path” with the United States, with several regional actors supporting the talks.

He described the escalation as “an uncalculated measure” that risked undermining fragile progress in regional diplomacy.

Qatar, which has long played a mediating role, remains engaged in efforts to de-escalate tensions. “We believe the US is still committed to reaching an agreement,” Ansari said, adding that Doha would continue to push for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
