Qatar says its output at gas field shared with Iran is steady, following Israeli strike
Qatar said on Tuesday its gas production at the South Pars field is steady and supply is proceeding normally, after the world's largest gas field was struck by Israel on Saturday, prompting Iran to partially suspend its production.
Qatar, the world's third biggest liquefied natural gas exporter after the U.S. and Australia, shares the South Pars gas field with Iran.
Iran partially suspended production at the field after an Israeli strike caused a fire on Saturday.
"So far, gas supplies are proceeding normally. However, the ill-advised targeting raises concerns for everyone regarding gas supplies," Qatar foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said.
"This is a reckless move... The companies operating in the fields are international, and there is a global presence, especially in the North Field," he said during a weekly press briefing in Doha.

Kremlin says it sees that Israel does not want mediation efforts with Iran amid 'galloping escalation'
The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it saw that Israel did not want mediation efforts over its conflict with Iran, now in its fifth day amid what Moscow said was "galloping escalation." Israel launched its air war with a surprise attack last week that has killed nearly the entire top echelon of Iran's military commanders and its leading nuclear scientists. Iran has responded with a barrage of strikes on Israeli cities. In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called on both sides to exercise "maximum restraint." "The situation is continuing to escalate rapidly. The level of unpredictability is absolute," he said. Peskov said that Russia's offer to mediate between the warring sides if necessary still stood, but that it saw Israel was for now not interested in seeking a peaceful solution.

Germany's Merz says diplomacy offer to now-weakened Iran still stands
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that the leadership in Tehran has been weakened by Israel's attacks in the past few days and will likely not return to its former strength. "This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see," Merz said in an interview with broadcaster Welt at the G7 summit in Canada. He added that the Europeans' offer of diplomatic assistance, should talks resume, still stood as they did before the attacks. "If a new situation were to arise, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom would again be prepared to provide diplomatic assistance, as they were until last Thursday," he said. Reuters
