Doha, Qatar: The State of Qatar strongly condemns the targeting of the office of the Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister and the residence of the head of the Security and Intelligence Agency in Erbil, considering the attacks a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as well as a flagrant breach of the rules of international law.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses the need to spare the region the repercussions of these unjustified attacks and to maintain the course of dialogue, diplomacy, and de-escalation, thereby contributing to the consolidation of security and stability at both the regional and international levels.

The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's full solidarity with Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and its support for all measures they take to safeguard their sovereignty and security.
