Iran Attacks Qatar, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Oman And Kuwait

Doha called the strikes 'renewed' and demanded an immediate halt, no further escalation, and a return to dialogue.

  • Qatar's foreign ministry says it holds Iran "fully and legally responsible" for the consequences.
  • Doha reserved the right to respond militarily, citing UN Charter Article 51.
  • The statement expressed solidarity with the five other Gulf and Arab states also struck.

Why it matters: Six governments invoking the same UN clause in one day means this war no longer has two sides.
