DOHA: Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani has spoken by phone with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the escalating regional situation following ongoing Iranian attacks targeting Qatar and their wider implications for security and energy stability.
According to Qatar News Agency, the two leaders reviewed regional developments in light of the Iranian attacks and their repercussions on both regional and international security. The conversation underscored the gravity of the situation and the need for coordinated international response.
A significant part of the discussion centred on global energy security. Qatar is one of the world’s largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, and both leaders stressed the importance of strengthening international efforts to ensure the stability and continued flow of energy supplies amid the escalating tensions. The Iranian attacks and their potential disruption to energy markets were highlighted as a concern of international consequence.
The Emir stressed the importance of de-escalation, particularly given the broader implications the conflict carries for global energy security and regional stability.
The two sides also addressed developments in Lebanon, emphasising the need to intensify efforts to reduce tensions and restore calm across the region.
The call reflects growing international concern over the Iranian attacks and their potential to destabilise one of the world’s most energy-critical regions. France, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a key diplomatic player in the Middle East, has been closely engaged with Gulf partners on regional security matters.
