Qatar’s prime minister said on Thursday Iran’s attack on the world’s largest gas facility in Qatar was “clear proof” against Tehran’s claims of having targeted only US interests in the Gulf.
There were “persistent Iranian claims that these attacks are against American interests… and this claim is rejected and cannot be accepted,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said. “The clear proof of this is the attack that took place yesterday that targeted a natural gas facility in the State of Qatar,” he added.
Iranian missiles hit Ras Laffan Industrial City on Wednesday evening causing extensive damage and sparking a surge in global energy prices.
