Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al Khulaifi, speaks to Talk to Al Jazeera as the Gulf faces its most dangerous escalation in years. After Qatar itself came under drone and missile attacks, Al Khulaifi condemns Iran’s aggression, warns that attacks on energy infrastructure threaten global markets, and argues that Gulf security is inseparable from global stability. Despite rising tensions, he insists diplomacy remains the only path to a lasting solution and says Qatar will continue pushing for negotiations to prevent a wider war.
