Qatar rejects Iran’s account of attacks, cites UN records

 

Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson rejected Iran’s characterization of attacks on the Persian Gulf state, saying official submissions to the United Nations documented Iranian missile strikes on civilian, commercial and residential areas.

The spokesperson said Qatar’s March 1 letter to the UN recorded damage and injuries to 16 people, while a July 20 submission documented further attacks that wounded three people, including a child.

He said an Iranian-cited security assessment was prepared for operational purposes and was not “a comprehensive record of events or a legal assessment,” adding that selectively quoting from it was misleading.

Qatar also rejected describing the March 18 attack on Ras Laffan gas facilities as “alleged,” saying it had been formally documented.

“Qatar is not a party to this conflict,” the spokesperson said, adding that attacks on its territory and civilian infrastructure could not be justified as “legitimate responses.”
