[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

I have today spoken to regional allies to condemn indiscriminate strikes by the abhorrent Iranian regime and to express UK solidarity.

We want to see prevention of escalation and protection of civilian lives.

Our embassies are working tirelessly to support British nationals.

Statement | Qatar Strongly Condemns Targeting Its Territory and Sisterly States, Affirms Its Right to Respond

Doha | February 28, 2026

The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation of the targeting of Qatari territory with Iranian ballistic missiles, considering it a flagrant violation of its national sovereignty, a direct infringement on its security and territorial integrity, and an unacceptable escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the State of Qatar reserves its full right to respond to this attack in accordance with the provisions of international law and in a manner proportionate to the nature of the aggression, in defense of its sovereignty and in protection of its security and national interests.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses that the State of Qatar has been and continues to be among the foremost advocates of dialogue with the Islamic Republic of Iran, consistently calling for this approach as the optimal foundation for addressing differences and resolving disputes through peaceful means, and for sparing the region the risks of escalation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the targeting of Qatari territory is inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness and cannot be accepted under any pretext or justification.

The State of Qatar has consistently sought to distance itself from regional conflicts and has worked to facilitate dialogue between the Iranian side and the international community.

However, the renewed targeting of its territory does not reflect good faith and threatens the foundations of understandings upon which bilateral relations between the two countries were based.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expresses the State of Qatar's condemnation of the violation of the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and the Kingdom of Bahrain in the blatant Iranian aggression, affirming the State of Qatar's full solidarity with these sisterly states in all measures they take to safeguard their sovereignty, security, and stability.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs renews the State of Qatar's call for the immediate cessation of any escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, the prioritization of reason and wisdom, and efforts to contain the crisis in a manner that preserves the security of the region, safeguards the interests of its peoples, and prevents a slide into broader confrontations.

Let’s hope the release of the first two hostages from Gaza is the start of all being freed from Hamas’s terror which Israel and Qatar coordinated and that this work continues.
