Qatar has denounced a wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, calling the attacks a “flagrant violation” of regional sovereignty and international law, Al Jazeera reports.

A ministry statement adds that Qatar will support any defensive measures taken by its neighbours to preserve their security.
