The State of Qatar has expressed its strong condemnation of an Iranian attack that led to a missile striking a civilian vehicle in the Al Bahia area in the United Arab Emirates, in which one person was killed, describing it as a serious escalation and a blatant violation of the UAE's sovereignty, as well as a direct threat to the security and stability of the region.

In a statement carried by Qatar News Agency (QNA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that Iran's continued opening of new fronts and expanding escalation with neighboring countries is extremely dangerous.

It called on Iran to immediately halt these irresponsible policies that undermine the region's security and stability, and to prioritise the interests of the region's peoples, while adhering to the principles of good neighbourliness and international law.

The Ministry also affirmed the State of Qatar's solidarity with the UAE and its support for all measures taken to preserve its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
