Saudi Arabia, Qatar condemn alleged Iranian attacks on tankers in Strait of Hormuz
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have issued condemnations of Iran's alleged attacks on pair of tankers -- Saudi's Vijian and Qatar's Rakiyat -- in the Strait of Hormuz.
"Kingdom affirms that these rejected attacks are an assault on the security and safety of international navigation, and on the security of global energy supplies," the Saudi minister of foreign affairs said in a statement Tuesday.
Qatar called the attacks "unacceptable" and "a grave [and] explicit violation of international law," in a statement Tuesday.
"We demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately cease all practices that undermine regional security or threaten the safety of international maritime navigation, & refrain from endangering global energy supplies & the resources of the countries of the region in pursuit of narrow interests. We hold it fully legally responsible for this attack & for any resulting damages & consequences," the Qatari foreign ministry said.
