Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari says the IRGC attack on al-Udeid base is a “violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and airspace and the UN charter”.

“We, in the State of Qatar, reserve our right to respond directly … to this blatant aggression in accordance with international law,” al-Ansari said in a statement.

He added that Qatari air defences foiled the attack and successfully confronted the Iranian missiles.
