Doha on Wednesday rejected Tehran’s claim that Iranian attacks on Qatari territory were aimed at American targets rather than Qatar itself.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi repeated the claim during a phone call with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s state news agency reported.

Sheikh Mohammed, who also serves as Qatar’s foreign minister, “categorically rejected these claims,” saying the facts on the ground show the attacks struck civilian and residential areas in Qatar.
He said the strikes hit areas near Hamad International Airport, as well as vital infrastructure and industrial zones, including liquefied natural gas production facilities.
“This constitutes a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar and the principles of international law,” Sheikh Mohammed added.
Iran’s actions “reflect nothing but an escalatory approach by the Iranian side and do not indicate any genuine desire for de-escalation or a solution,” he said. “Rather, they seek to harm their neighbors and drag them into a war that is not theirs.”
The Qatari premier “called for an immediate halt to these attacks on countries in the region that have distanced themselves from this war,” saying the Iranian strikes show “no goodwill” toward neighboring states.
While Qatar “has always been inclined toward dialogue and diplomacy,” Sheikh Mohammed said the country would confront any aggression that threatens its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity or national interests.
He added that the Iranian attacks “cannot go unanswered,” citing Qatar’s inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

So the strongly worded letter of surrender and the mediocre gift from Qatar is on hold then?
SOOOOO THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST IS WISING UP TO IRAN???
We’ll have to see.
google says:
Does Qatar have a powerful military?
The armed forces were founded in 1971 after the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. With a personnel strength of 16,500, Qatar’s armed forces are the second-smallest in the Middle East.
Most of them already knew. Saudi Arabia has long been an ally of Israel because of it. They just don’t like their own people to know it.
LOL. Qatar’s self defense is they let the United States have a military base there. That’s all the protection they need. Their 16,500 would be for internal matters, if they come up.
“...were aimed at American targets rather than Qatar itself.”
They missed.
