Tehran, IRNA – Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has strongly warned that any attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities will have catastrophic consequences for the entire region.
Al Thani discussed the dangers of a military attack on Iran during an interview with Tucker Carlson, an American political commentator and TV presenter, on Friday.
He noted that an attack could lead to “an environmental disaster with no clean water to drink.”
In response to a question about the potential consequences for the body of water between Iran and Qatar if the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in southern Iran were attacked, he said, “This would basically be entirely contaminated... the whole country would run out of water in three days.”
He added, “This is not only applied for Qatar, it is applied for Kuwait, for the UAE, for all of us in that part.”
The minister specifically highlighted the impact on Qatar due to its geographical proximity, saying, “We are physically close to Iran, about 120 miles away, right across the water. You can get there by a 90-minute boat ride.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the top Qatari diplomat said that Tehran and Doha maintain bilateral ties despite some differences and external pressures.
Al Thani also expressed hope for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. “We do not support any military action in this region in any way, and we will not stop trying until a diplomatic solution is found between the United States and Iran.”
