Qatar PM says US gave warning before Iran strikes, calls Netanyahu ‘war criminal’
Al Thani said the U.S. warned Doha only 30 minutes before the strikes and said the attack eliminated any chance for a diplomatic solution.
- Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani revealed he received only a 30-minute warning from the White House before U.S. military strikes on Iran began.
- Sheikh Mohammed expressed deep disappointment, stating the short notification eliminated any possibility of a diplomatic solution and that Qatar itself came under attack less than an hour after the strikes began.
- Describing the conflict as an "earthquake," Al Thani reported the war's economic toll, including an 8% contraction in the economy and about $24 billion in lost revenue.
- Despite the confrontation, Al Thani stressed that Iran remains a neighbor, advocating for dialogue and regional security reform to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Recent diplomatic friction includes accusations from former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who labeled Qatar an "enemy state" over its historical funding and support for Hamas.
