Qatar has issued a statement strongly condemning Iran for launching strikes on Jordan, considering them a blatant violation of both Jordan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and international law.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the continuation of these aggressions represents a dangerous escalation that will complicate efforts aimed at containing tensions and undermine political and diplomatic endeavours geared toward achieving security and stability in the region,” the statement, posted on X, reads.

The ministry has emphasised the necessity of an immediate and complete cessation of all military operations that “threaten the region’s security and stability”, urging Iran to refrain from any actions that could expand the scope of escalation.

It further urges Tehran to make a “serious return to the path of dialogue and negotiations”, while committing to the understandings achieved through diplomatic efforts.
