The State of Qatar strongly condemns the attack that targeted Al-Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. We consider this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations Charter. We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law.
We reassure that Qatar’s air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles. A detailed statement regarding the circumstances of the attack will be issued later by the Ministry of Defense.
We also emphasize that the continuation of such escalatory military actions will undermine security and stability in the region, dragging it into situations that could have catastrophic consequences for international peace and security.
We call for the immediate cessation of all military actions and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue.
Furthermore, the State of Qatar was one of the first countries to warn against the dangers of Israeli escalation in the region. We have consistently called for diplomatic solutions to be prioritized and have stressed the importance of good-neighborliness and avoiding escalation.
We reaffirm that dialogue is the only way to overcome the current crises and ensure the security of the region and the peace of its people.
The base had been evacuated earlier, following established security and precautionary measures, given the tensions in the region. All necessary steps were taken to ensure the safety of personnel at the base, including Qatari Armed Forces members, friendly forces, and others. We confirm that no injuries or human casualties resulted from the attack.
I hate how Iran needs to act in this way because international law does not apply to the aggresors. If you're going down, at least take some motherfuckers down on your way.
Iran isn't going down. They aren't scared. They don't boast. They don't lie. They make threats and then carry them out with planning and decisiveness. There is no path that the us/isisrael have to making Iran go down other than nukes which would result in a response from Russia and likely China too.
isisrael and usa are constantly doing kneejerk retaliations and escalations with no regard for the outcomes. They don't think of worst cases they just assume everything will go to their plan and when it doesn't they panic and do another stupid thing. At this point they have made so many missteps in such a short time it is abundantly clear they will end in a face plant.

Qatar: "How dare Iran attack our territory!"
Also Qatar: Coordinated the attack with Iran
As always, Qatar speaks out of both sides of its mouth.
