Qatar will not be dragged into any conflict with Iran, a senior Qatari official said Sunday (June 3rd).
Defence minister Khalid bin Mohammad al-Attiyah told an international security conference in Singapore that even though the two nations had "a lot of differences", Doha would not "fuel a war" in the region, AFP reported.
Responding to a question on whether Qatar's air bases could be used to launch airstrikes against Iran, al-Attiyah said the country was "not a fan of war", and called instead for engagement and dialogue.
"We should call Iran, put all the files on the table, and discuss to bring peace, (rather) than war," he told the Shangri-La Dialogue.
