King Mohammed VI spoke by phone on Monday evening with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, following Iran's missile strike on the Al-Udeid Air Base. According to a statement from the Amiri Diwan, the Moroccan monarch expressed Morocco's full solidarity with Qatar and strongly condemned the Iranian attack, describing it as «a blatant violation of Qatari sovereignty and airspace, as well as international law and the United Nations Charter». The King firmly rejected any aggression that threatens Qatar's security and stability, calling on the Emir to show restraint and prioritize diplomatic solutions to de-escalate the situation. For his part, the Emir expressed his deep appreciation for the King's «sincere fraternal sentiments and valuable solidarity with the State of Qatar and its people». Earlier on Monday, Iran launched an attack on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar in an operation dubbed «Annunciation of Victory», in retaliation for American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The incident marks a sharp escalation in regional tensions following missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. Qatar temporarily closed its airspace on Monday due to heightened security concerns, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating the move was intended to «ensure the safety of residents and visitors». Later that same day, Qatari authorities announced the resumption of air traffic and confirmed that conditions had returned to normal. Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement Monday, strongly condemning the Iranian attack and expressing full solidarity with Qatar against any threats to its security and the safety of its people.
