Doha | March 16, 2026
The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation of the Iranian targeting that led to a missile striking a civilian vehicle in the Al Bahia area in the sisterly United Arab Emirates (UAE), which killed one person, 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.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the Islamic Republic of 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 prioritize the interests of the region's peoples while adhering to the principles of good neighborliness and international law.
The Ministry also affirms the State of Qatar's solidarity with the UAE and its support for all measures taken to preserve its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
