Qatar warned of a serious escalation in the Middle East as the conflict continues into its second month, stressing that the situation is approaching a point that may become uncontrollable amid rising tensions and rapid developments across the region.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari stated that continued escalation without restraint could push the region into a critical phase, urging all parties to seek urgent solutions to end the conflict before it worsens, while emphasizing that no side will emerge as a winner if the war continues.

He confirmed Qatar support for international mediation efforts between Iran and the United States, clarifying that Doha is not acting as a direct mediator, and warned that targeting energy facilities in the Gulf would create wider regional challenges and deepen instability.

Al Ansari also reiterated Qatar condemnation of Iranian actions targeting countries in the region, calling for an immediate halt to such activities as a key step toward de escalation, and highlighting ongoing coordination among Gulf Cooperation Council states to manage the crisis and maintain regional stability.

He stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for free navigation, warning that any disruption would impact global energy supplies supply chains and food security, and affirmed that any future arrangements must involve regional consensus and international guarantees without unilateral imposition.
