Qatar Expels Iranian Attaches After Missile Attack

Qatar has declared Iranian military and security attaches 'persona non grata' and ordered their expulsion within 24 hours. This diplomatic action follows missile attacks on Qatar's Qatar===Ras Laffan Industrial City, a vital natural gas processing hub, which caused significant damage. Qatar views these attacks as a blatant aggression and a violation of its sovereignty, reserving the right to take further measures. The incident has escalated regional tensions, with Saudi Arabia also reporting intercepted missile and drone attacks. The Gulf Cooperation Council has condemned the attacks, highlighting the threat to regional security and global energy markets. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had previously issued warnings of strikes on energy facilities in the region. This event underscores a significant deterioration in diplomatic relations and poses a direct threat to energy security.
