Qatar raises alarm over strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field Threat to peace, environment

Qatar has strongly condemned Israeli strikes on facilities associated with Iran’s South Pars gas field, warning that such actions pose serious risks to regional stability and global energy security.

In a statement issued via the social media platform X, a spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attacks as a “dangerous and irresponsible step” amid ongoing military escalation in the region, Caliber.Az reports.

الاستهداف الإسرائيلي لمنشآت مرتبطة بحقل بارس الجنوبي في إيران والذي يمثل امتداد لحقل غاز الشمال في قطر، هو خطوة خطرة وغير مسؤولة، في ظل التصعيد العسكري الراهن في المنطقة. إن استهداف البنية التحتية للطاقة يُعد تهديداً لأمن الطاقة العالمي ولشعوب المنطقة والبيئة فيها.

ونؤكد كما…

The spokesperson cautioned that targeting energy infrastructure threatens not only the environment but also the safety of populations and the stability of global energy markets.

“We reiterate, as we have repeatedly stated, the need to avoid targeting vital facilities and call on all parties to exercise restraint, adhere to international law, and work toward de-escalation in order to preserve security and stability in the region,” the ministry said.
