Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani chaired the Cabinet's regular meeting held on Wednesday morning at the Amiri Diwan.

Following the meeting, Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs HE Ibrahim bin Ali Al Mohannadi stated the following:

At the outset of the meeting, the Cabinet commended the role of the Qatar Armed Forces, under the leadership of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, in successfully and decisively intercepting the missile attack launched on Monday evening by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, targeting Al-Udeid Air Base. The Cabinet stressed that, by God's grace, the readiness and vigilance of the armed forces, and the precautionary measures that were taken, the attack did not result in any deaths or injuries.

The Cabinet renewed the State of Qatar's strong condemnation of the Iranian attack, deeming it a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and airspace, as well as a breach of international law and the United Nations Charter, not to mention that it is completely inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness and the close relations between the two countries.

The Cabinet expressed its thanks to the brotherly and friendly countries that rushed to condemn and denounce the Iranian attack and declared their solidarity with the State of Qatar, appreciating their stance that reflected the sincerity of their fraternal relations.
