Geneva: The State of Qatar has strongly condemned Iranian missile attacks on its territory as a blatant violation of its national sovereignty and a breach of international law and the United Nations Charter, threatening regional stability.

The comments were made on Tuesday by Deputy Permanent Representative of the Permanent Delegation of the State of Qatar to the UN Office in Geneva Jawhara bint Abdulaziz Al Suwaidi, during a meeting of the Conference on Disarmament.

Al Suwaidi said that targeting Qatari territory violates the principles of good neighborliness and cannot be justified under any pretext. She stressed that Qatar has always sought to distance itself from regional conflicts and had worked to facilitate dialogue between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the international community.

She added that peaceful means represent the best way to address differences and resolve disputes.

Al Suwaidi noted that the attacks targeted civilian interests and facilities, exposing citizens and residents to direct risks, in a grave violation of international law.
