Iran has deceived us, attacks should stop now: Qatari Prime Minister

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said Iran has deceived us, but parties should reduce tensions and attacks should stop. According to details, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani expressed his views on recent tensions with Iran in an exclusive interview with Sky News. He said attacks from Iran should stop now, Iran is attacking Qatar with wrong estimates, which will increase tensions, attacks on Qatar will shock the global economy, we are facing a very difficult time.

The Qatari Prime Minister, praising the professionalism of his defense and security forces, said Qatar has mediated in some of the world's most complex crises, an attack was launched on Qatar and other Gulf countries just an hour after the war began. He stated that we have made it clear that we will not participate in any war against our neighbors, we have kept diplomatic channels open with Tehran for a long time, Qatar has traditionally positioned itself as a global mediator, we never expected our neighbor to attack.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said we have always tried to maintain good relations with Iran, we reject the justification Iran is using for the attacks, the responsibility for reducing tensions lies with all parties, we are continuing our efforts to reduce tensions. He emphasized that Iran is our neighbor and it is our fate to live with it, but the only way to get out of the current crisis is through new negotiations and diplomacy.
