Oman condemns missile attack on Qatar
Muscat: Oman's Foreign Ministry has condemned the ongoing regional escalation in the region, which was caused by Israel with the attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran on June 13 and the continuous exchange of missile attacks since then, including the recent Iranian missile attack on sovereign sites in the sisterly state of Qatar. The Sultanate of Oman has condemned the act that violates the sovereignty of a sisterly state of the Gulf Cooperation Council, contradicts the policy of good neighbourliness, and threatens to expand the scope of the conflict, which has no benefit except more damage and destruction and undermines the foundations of security, stability, and the safety of the peoples of the region. The foreign ministry spokesman expressed the Sultanate of Oman's solidarity with the State of Qatar and the measures it is taking to preserve its security and stability. The spokesman also called for an immediate cessation of all military and missile operations, the adoption of wisdom in resorting to peaceful negotiations, and adherence to international law in addressing the causes of the conflict and achieving a just settlement through legitimate means.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemns Iran's aggression against Qatar
Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned and denounced the aggression launched by Iran against Qatar, describing it as a blatant violation of international law and the principles of good neighbourliness. The Kingdom asserted that such actions are unacceptable and unjustifiable under any circumstances. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Kingdom affirmed its full solidarity and unwavering support for the State of Qatar, pledging to place all its capabilities at Qatar's disposal to assist in any measures it may take. Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), also condemned the missile attack on Monday evening. He affirmed that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar and a direct threat to the security of all GCC states. He reiterated that the security of the GCC states is indivisible, and that the Council stands united with Qatar in confronting any threat to its security and territorial integrity. Iran's military said it carried out a missile attack on the Al Udeid U.S. airbase in Qatar on Monday after explosions were heard across the Qatari capital following Tehran's threat to retaliate for U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites.
