Doha, Qatar: The Shura Council on Monday held its regular weekly session in Tamim bin Hamad Hall at the Council's headquarters, chaired by HE Speaker Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim.

The council renewed its condemnation and denunciation, in the strongest possible terms, of Iran's heinous attack on the State of Qatar and its ongoing military offensives using ballistic missiles, drones, and combat jets, in a flagrant violation of the country's national sovereignty, as well as directly compromising the safety and security of citizens, residents, and visitors, in addition to breaching the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, with disrespect to moral standards.

The Council praised the stances of national parliaments, unions, and parliamentary organizations, and their solidarity with the State of Qatar, underscoring its commitment to continuing cooperation and coordination with them to serve the common interests.

It emphasized the State of Qatar's unwavering position in supporting the paths of diplomacy and dialogue and respecting the principles of international law and the UN Charter, as the groundwork for de-escalation and for bolstering peace and stability on the regional and global stages.

In this context, the council strongly denounced the allegations of Iran's Foreign Minister, along with his irrational justification, that the missile attacks carried by his country were directed at American interests and did not target Qatar. The Council unequivocally rejected these allegations, pointing out that the Iranian aggression included the entirety of the nation's territory, with the Iranian missiles targeting industrial and commercial facilities, as well as critical civilian utilities, in a dangerous precursor that entirely runs contrary to the Islamic fraternity, the principles of good neighborliness, and the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
