Qatar: Iran must compensate for damages from attacks

Qatar said on Wednesday that Iran is obligated to compensate it for all damages resulting from attacks on its territory.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said Qatar sent two identical letters to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the president of the Security Council in April, denouncing the Iranian attacks as a "flagrant violation" of its sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and territorial integrity, and an escalation that endangers regional stability.

It stressed that Iran bears international responsibility for the attacks, describing them as "illegal acts" that demand that Tehran provide compensation for all losses suffered by Qatar, the ministry said.

Qatar also said the attacks targeted civilian areas and violated international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions and principles prohibiting attacks on civilians.

Doha reaffirmed that it reserves the right to respond under Article 51 of the UN Charter, saying it will take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security and residents.

US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, saying Tehran presented a "workable" 10-point proposal for negotiations.

The announcement came less than two hours before the expiration of a deadline that Trump had repeatedly extended to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal or face the "destruction of an entire civilization."

Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive against Iran on February 28, killing more than 1,400 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq and Gulf states that host US military assets. It has also restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
