Iran's miscalculation has 'destroyed everything', Qatar's PM says
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani has described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation" - warning the escalation risks destabilising the region and sending shockwaves through the global economy. Speaking to the media for the first time since Qatar has come under repeated missile and drone attacks, the prime minister told Sky News that the country had entered what he called "a very difficult period" - but praised the professionalism of its defence and security forces. "The miscalculation by the Iranians to attack Gulf countries has destroyed everything," he said, but insisted the answer now must be renewed negotiations.
