Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, has strongly warned against any attempts to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. He stated that any such attack would have catastrophic consequences for the entire region.

In an interview with American political commentator Tucker Carlson, Al Thani expressed hope for a diplomatic resolution to Iran's nuclear issue.

He said, "We do not support any military actions in this region. We will not stop our efforts until a diplomatic solution is reached between the United States and Iran."

Qatar has been increasingly vocal in its criticism of Israel. The country has demanded that Israel's nuclear facilities be brought under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. During a meeting in Vienna on Saturday, Qatar called on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Prime Minister Al Thani added that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would result in the Gulf countries running out of drinking water within three days. This applies not only to Qatar but also to Kuwait, the UAE, and all of us.

President Donald Trump stated that he had sent a letter to Iran. In the letter, he mentioned two options for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons: one being military action (hinting at an attack on Iran's facilities) and the other being a deal.

A day after the U.S. leader's remarks, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a meeting with senior military and civilian officials that the call for negotiations by "bullying" powers is not aimed at solving the problem. Rather, it is an attempt to impose their expectations on Iran. Iran will not comply with their expectations.

Khamenei emphasized that oppressive powers do not wish to discuss solely the nuclear issue. For them, negotiations are a way to impose new expectations, particularly concerning Iran's defense capabilities and international position. They aim to create doubt in people's minds, questioning why Iran is unwilling to negotiate despite being ready for discussions. However, their real objective is not negotiation but domination and coercion.
