Qatar's Emir Warns of Iranian Attack
Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, affirmed that his country insists on dialogue and diplomatic solutions, but it will not hesitate to defend its sovereignty in the face of Iranian assaults and threats to the security of the Gulf region—especially amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the repercussions of the war on global energy and economy. He explained that Qatar has experienced attacks on its territory, and its armed forces and security agencies are working to defend it, demonstrating outstanding performance during the crisis both militarily and strategically. He noted that the war has disrupted part of the natural gas exports, which account for 20% of the global market supply, while non-hydrocarbon GDP has risen to 80%, and public revenues have declined by 42% in the first half of the year. Additionally, he announced an investment package valued at approximately $60 billion over five years to strengthen and diversify the national economy, while continuing to expand the North Field and support international energy investments. Regarding the Palestinian issue, Tamim emphasized that Israel's practices against Gaza constitute genocide and warned against ongoing violations, supporting political solutions to other regional crises.
