Qatar’s Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes on Ras Laffan Industrial City, calling them a violation of sovereignty and warning it reserves the right to respond.
Ras Laffan is Qatar’s primary LNG production center, hosting major gas processing, refining, and power facilities. Its port — one of the largest industrial energy complexes globally — includes the world’s biggest LNG export terminal.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it has declared the Iranian military and security attachés, along with embassy staff, persona non grata, requesting they leave the country within 24 hours.
The ministry said the decision followed what it described as repeated Iranian attacks targeting Qatar, calling them a violation of sovereignty and international law. It warned further measures could be taken if such actions continue.
Satellite imagery circulating online appears to show multiple impact sites at Ras Laffan — the world’s largest LNG hub.
