Qatar's foreign ministry summoned Iran's deputy ambassador and delivered a
formal protest after a Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier was attacked in the
Strait of Hormuz. Doha demanded Iran immediately cease actions that endanger
regional security and threaten international shipping and global energy
supplies, and said it reserves the right to take measures under international
law to protect its interests. The démarche comes as security tensions in the
Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate.
