Qatar's Interior Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad stated that the country's security situation is "stable" despite ongoing Iranian attacks in the region. These attacks are a response to the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28, 2026. Speaking on Qatar Television on Friday, March 13, 2026, Sheikh Khalifa said Qatar has a plan to address further attacks and has already responded to missile fragments falling across the country. He assured that Qatar has sufficient water and food reserves to last for several months and a year and a half, respectively. The Iranian strikes have targeted civilian infrastructure, causing regional energy production slowdowns and raising global economic concerns. The UN Security Council has condemned the attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
