New York: The State of Qatar has sent its eighth identical letter to HE Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, and HE Permanent Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations and President of the Security Council for the month of March, Michael Waltz, regarding the latest developments of the Iranian aggression on its territory.

This aggression constitutes a blatant violation of its national sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and territorial integrity, and an unacceptable escalation that jeopardizes the security and stability of the region.

The letter was sent by HE Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations, Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani.

The letter noted the continued attacks targeting Qatari territory, stating that "the Ministry of Defense of the State of Qatar announced on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, that the State of Qatar was subjected to an attack on Tuesday afternoon with five ballistic missiles from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that our armed forces successfully intercepted all five ballistic missiles without any casualties.

The Ministry of Defense also announced on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, that the State of Qatar was subjected to an attack on Wednesday with nine ballistic missiles and a number of drones from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that our armed forces successfully intercepted all the drones and eight ballistic missiles, with one missile falling in an uninhabited area."

The letter added that all damages and losses resulting from the attacks will be assessed by the relevant authorities, noting that further updates would be provided as they become available.

The letter reiterated Qatar strong condemnation of this attack and its full right to respond in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and in a manner commensurate with the nature of the aggression, in defense of its sovereignty and to safeguard its security and national interests. Qatar also requested that this letter be circulated as an official document of the Security Council.
