Paris, June 24
Several countries including France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan on Tuesday strongly condemned Iran’s attack on the US bases in Qatar.
Iran has reportedly fired six missiles towards American military bases in Iraq and Qatar on Monday, furthering the conflict with Israel and the US.
As per media reports, the operation was named “Annunciation of Victory”. However, there have been no major impacts of the missile attack on the US bases in Qatar as American Patriot missile defence systems intercepted Iranian missiles.
Condemning the Iranian strikes on Qatar, French President Emmanuel Macron held a conversation with Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar expressing solidarity with Qatar.
“I spoke with my friend Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar. I conveyed to him my full solidarity and my condemnation of the Iranian strikes that targeted his country. France stands alongside Qatar and each of its partners in the Gulf,” said Macron in a post on X on Tuesday.
“I express France’s solidarity with Qatar, struck by Iran on its own soil. I am in close contact with the country’s authorities and our partners in the region. I call on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint, to de-escalate, and to return to the negotiating table. The spiral of chaos must end,” the French leader said in another post.
