Qatar Energy: Production Continues Despite Iranian Attack on Al-Udeid Base

Despite the military escalation in the Gulf, sources confirmed to Reuters that shipments and production of Qatar Energy Company were not affected by the Iranian attack on Al-Udeid Air Base, one of the region's key military bases.

The agency stated that operations in the company are running normally without any interruption in production or delays in exports, despite the heightened security tensions following the sudden missile attack by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Qatar strongly condemned the Iranian attack, stating in an official statement that the attack constitutes a "blatant violation of its sovereignty and airspace, and a clear breach of international law".

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the missiles were successfully intercepted without any casualties, and that Qatari airspace is now secure.

It is worth noting that Al-Udeid Air Base houses the Combined Air Operations Center responsible for commanding the air forces in the region, as well as the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, the largest rapid air intervention wing in the world.

The Iranian attack came less than 24 hours after a surprise military strike by the United States targeted three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, further exacerbating the tension in the Gulf.

In a related development, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its full support for Qatar, affirming that it backs all measures taken by Doha to protect its sovereignty against "Iranian aggression".

Meanwhile, developments in the region continue amid international anticipation of the crisis outcome, especially given the sensitivity of the targeted sites and the potential repercussions on global energy markets.
