In a phone conversation with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that “what happened ysterday was only a response to the US direct involvement in the Zionist regime’s aggression on the Iranian territory and by no means meant Islamic Republic of Iran’s confrontation with the friendly, brotherly, and neghboring Qatar.”

Iran with the dozen missile targeted Al Udeid Air Base in Doha last night in response to the earlier US aggression on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

The president said that Iranian government and people are really greatefull for the goodwill and friendly and brotherly stances of the Qatari government, especially during the hard times.
