Qatar-Iran ties scarred but should recover after missile salvo
DOHA: Qatar's prime minister said on Tuesday relations with Iran have been scarred by an Iranian missile volley at a US air base in the Gulf Arab state, but that he hoped ties would eventually "come back to normal". Iran responded to US participation in Israel's air war against Iran by firing missiles on Monday at the Al Udeid Air Base, but no one was hurt after Tehran gave advance warning, and a ceasefire was announced hours later by Washington. Qatar, situated just across the Gulf from Iran, has often acted as a mediator in regional conflicts, including between Iran and the United States and between Israel and Hamas in the continuing Gaza war. "What happened will definitely have its scar on the relationship (with Iran), but I hope by the time everyone learns the lesson that this kind of neighbourhood relationship should not be violated and should not be undermined," Qatar's prime minister, Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, told a press conference with his Lebanese counterpart in Doha. "The partnership between Qatar and the US is just growing stronger... and I hope the good relationship with Iran comes back to normal as soon as possible," he said. Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani holds a press conference in Doha. — AFP Al Thani added that Qatar had liaised with Iran at Washington's request to help facilitate the ceasefire. "We hope the ceasefire will continue as agreed upon, and we urge both the US and Iran to return to the negotiating table with the aim of reaching a comprehensive diplomatic solution, something that Qatar has consistently sought," he said. He added that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed regret in a phone call with Qatar's ruling Emir Shaikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani that Tehran's target in retaliating for US air strikes was a military base in Qatar. Operations at two of the world's busiest airports in Doha and Dubai slowed to a crawl on Tuesday as thousands of travellers queued for hours, facing long delays and flight cancellations after the temporary closure of airspace a day earlier. Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait shut their airspace late on Monday after Iran's strike on a US military base in Qatar's capital Doha, forcing airlines to cancel or reroute hundreds of flights and creating a backlog of stranded passengers. Lines were so long that arguments broke out as some passengers jumped queues, according to a witness. Around 250 flights were cancelled at Hamad airport, while another 238 were delayed, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. Qatar Airways said it was "making progress in restoring its schedule" with possible disruptions until June 26. Air India said on Tuesday it would resume those flights as soon as airspaces reopen, while other carriers such as flydubai warned that delays would persist due to airspace congestion. — Reuters

Qatar slams Iran attack on US base
DOHA: Explosions could be heard over Doha on Monday, shortly after Qatar, which hosts the biggest US base in the Middle East, suspended air traffic as Iran threatened retaliation for US strikes on its nuclear sites. Qatar's government has offered its "strong condemnation" of the attack on the Al Udeid Air Base. Oman expressed solidarity with Qatar while condemning the ongoing regional escalation, triggered by Israel's unlawful missile strike on Iran. An official statement of the Foreign Ministry said the latest Iranian missile strike targeting sovereign sites in Qatar is regarded by Oman as an unacceptable and condemned act, constituting a violation of the sovereignty of a brotherly GCC state. The act contradicts the principles of good neighbourliness and raises the risk of expanding a conflict that brings only further destruction and instability, threatening the security and safety of peoples across the region. It further called for an immediate halt to all military and missile operations, urging peaceful negotiations, and adherence to international law as the means to resolve the conflict and achieve a just settlement through legitimate avenues. "We consider this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations charter," a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X. He says Qatar's air defence systems "successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles" and the base had been evacuated earlier. Qatar, which lies 190 km south of Iran across the Gulf, is home to the United States' largest military base in the region, Al Udeid, which hosts the regional headquarters of the Pentagon's Central Command. Iran coordinated the attacks on the American air base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimise casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans. The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the US but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp; they described it as a similar strategy to 2020 when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles an American base in Iraq following the assassination of its top general. United Arab Emirates airspace is currently closed based on flight paths and air traffic control audio, according to a post by FlightRadar on X on Monday. Kuwait and Bahrain also suspended air traffic temporarily on Monday. Iran has also attacked Iraq in retaliation for the bombing of its nuclear facilities, according to the Iranian state news agency IRNA. It was initially unclear which sites were targeted in Iraq. However, Iraqi media reported that a state of maximum alert was declared and shelter orders issued at the Ain Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq. An Israeli representative told media outlets that Iran had fired a total of 10 missiles at US targets in Qatar on Monday. Shortly before the attacks in Qatar and Iraq were confirmed, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on X: "We did not start the war nor wanted it but we will not leave the aggression against the great Iran unanswered." — Agencies

Blasts heard over Doha after Qatar suspends air traffic
Doha: Explosions could be heard over Doha on Monday, shortly after Qatar, which hosts the biggest US base in the Middle East, suspended air traffic as Iran threatened retaliation for US strikes on its nuclear sites. AFP journalists heard several rounds of blasts in central Doha and across the Qatari capital, with projectiles stopped by interceptors illuminating the night sky. Gas-rich Qatar, which lies 190 kilometres (120 miles) south of Iran across the Gulf, is home to the United States' largest military base in the region, Al Udeid, which hosts the regional headquarters of the Pentagon's Central Command. "The competent authorities announce the temporary suspension of air traffic in the country's airspace, as part of a set of precautionary measures taken based on developments in the region," the foreign ministry said. It added authorities were monitoring the situation "in coordination with regional and international partners". Earlier, the US embassy in Qatar advised Americans there not to go out, with other Western embassies echoing the warning. "Out of an abundance of caution we recommend American citizens shelter in place until further notice," the US embassy said on its website. Britain and Canada later cited the US security alert in their own recommendations to nationals. Iran's armed forces threatened on Monday to inflict "serious, unpredictable consequences" on the US after it joined its ally Israel's campaign against the Islamic republic, carrying out heavy strikes on three nuclear sites. Last week, dozens of US military aircraft were no longer on the tarmac at al-Udeid, according to satellite images published by Planet Labs PBC and analysed by AFP. Nearly 40 military aircraft -- including transport planes like the Hercules C-130 and reconnaissance aircraft -- were parked on the tarmac at the base, the regional headquarters of the Pentagon's Central Command, on June 5, but in an image taken on June 19, only three aircraft were visible. In Bahrain, a close neighbour of Qatar that hosts the US Fifth Fleet, the American embassy "temporarily shifted a portion of its employees to local telework", it said on X. Bahraini authorities had already told most government employees to work from home until further notice, citing "regional circumstances". Following the US warning in Doha, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said such statements by foreign embassies "do not necessarily reflect the existence of specific or credible threats". "We would like to reassure the public that the security situation in the state remains stable," he wrote on X. "Qatar continues to exert intensive diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region." On Sunday, the US State Department advised Americans worldwide to "exercise increased caution" because of the war between Israel and Iran. After Israel's first strikes on Iran on June 13, the US embassy in Qatar had told its staff and other Americans to exercise caution and "limit non-essential travel to Al Udeid Air Base".
