Qatar\u2019s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has told the Shura Council that the region has faced \u201cexceptional events\u201d, following months of instability amid the United States-Israeli war on Iran.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the Qatari capital, Doha, on Tuesday morning, Sheikh Tamim said the events had demonstrated the strength and cohesion of the country\u2019s state institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country and the region have faced exceptional events that have once again proven the cohesion of state institutions,\u201d the Emir said.<\/p>\n

Qatar has found itself caught up in the war, which began on February 28 and has triggered a global energy crisis. The Gulf state has been directly attacked by Iran on several occasions, including in March, when Tehran struck Qatar\u2019s Ras Laffan gas facility, the world\u2019s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) production site.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Tamim said Qatar had been able to absorb the consequences of the regional instability due to policies implemented before the war, stressing that Doha\u2019s preference was to resolve conflicts through peaceful means and dialogue. However, the Emir maintained that the Gulf Cooperation Council\u2019s (GCC) security was non-negotiable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security of the Gulf Cooperation Council states and the preservation of their sovereignty is a matter that cannot be compromised on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The war on Iran has disrupted global supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has effectively blocked since the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Tamim said efforts to safeguard maritime routes must be increased.<\/p>\n

\u201cEfforts must be doubled to secure navigation in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and to protect energy facilities and civilian infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
