Qatar rejects claims of side deals with Iran and calls for regional solution to war

Doha said 5 Arab states were falsely accused of aiding strikes on Iran and urged a broader regional settlement instead of a temporary ceasefire.

  • On Tuesday, Qatari government spokesperson Majed Al Ansari denied reports of discussions with Iran regarding financial payments to halt attacks, calling such claims untrue.
  • Earlier, Iran demanded compensation from five Arab nations—Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan—alleging they enabled US-Israeli strikes against Iranian interests.
  • Emphasizing a collective regional response, Al Ansari rejected allegations of secret arrangements and stated that Doha views any attack as a direct threat to its sovereignty.
  • Calling for a "comprehensive solution," the Qatari official warned against using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage, rejecting any temporary ceasefire.
  • While recent US-Iran talks in Islamabad concluded after 21 hours without agreement, Qatar continues supporting diplomatic efforts, including mediation initiatives led by Pakistan.
