Qatar Expels Iranian Military, Security Attachés

Qatar has declared the military and security attachés, along with their staff, at the Iranian Embassy in Doha as persona non grata, ordering them to leave the country within 24 hours. This decision, conveyed by Ibrahim Yousif Fakhro to Ali Salehabadi, stems from what Qatar describes as repeated Iranian actions targeting its sovereignty and security, including a recent ballistic missile strike near Qatar===Ras Laffan Industrial City, a critical hub for liquefied natural gas exports. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs cited a clear breach of international law and warned of further measures if Iran continues its hostile approach. This move, while not a full rupture of relations, is a targeted diplomatic measure to protect Qatar's national interests and territorial integrity amidst broader regional escalations following a joint offensive on Iran by Israel and the United States.
