The attack, which took place on the night of Monday, June 23, 2025, inspired Qatar’s Foreign Ministry to issue a statement and stating that the Katri formed a quarrelsome violation of sovereignty, airspace and international law, especially under the United Nations Charter.
Qatar’s diplomatic reaction and condemnation
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry made it clear that it saw the attack as a serious violation of its sovereignty, which paid attention to its implications to maintain good relations with Iran for regional stability and long -term diplomatic efforts of Qatar.

Iran’s justification: a self-defense function
However, Iran rejected the notion that the attack on Al Udid Base was to reduce its relationship with Qatar. Tehran’s reaction was rapidly after the Iranian ambassador called Qatar. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmel Bagei described the missile strike as a legitimate act of self -defense, saying that he was “criminal aggression” in response to us and Israel. “Iran’s military strike at Iran’s military station ‘Al-UDID’ was in our self-defense practice under Article 51 of the United States under Article 51 of the United Nations, which took place on June 22, 2025, was aggressively aggravated against Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty,” Baghai was said to be an aggressiveness against Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty. He continued, “This task of self -defense had nothing with our friendly neighbor Qatar because we enjoy excellent and deeply contained relationships.” Bagi confirmed that Iran is committed to its “good-loyal” policy with Qatar and its other regional neighbors, emphasizing that Iranian works were directed only on the military goals of the US and Israel and not in Qatar. He said, “Iran is fully committed to its good-prone policy regarding the state of Qatar and other neighboring countries,” he said. “We pledge not to allow us against Iran/Israeli criminal aggression and deadly policies between us and the brother -in -law of this region.”Despite Iran’s efforts to assure Qatar, the missile attack on the al -Udid base on Monday night increased tension in the unstable region, adding concerns about the possibility of further military growth. The missile strike, which was allegedly part of an operation called “Vijay Ki Declaration”, fired six missiles towards American military establishments in both Iraq and Qatar. However, sources suggest that America The Patriot missile defense system posted at Al Udid successfully stopped the upcoming missiles, reducing the potential damage to Aadhaar.
