Qatar’s Prime Minister:

This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately.

Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

It should be especially noted that the primary responsible party for this war, which has drawn our region into an unprecedented crisis, is Israel.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

We reject all kinds of actions that target regional geographies, and we believe that Israel’s attempts to whitewash its own crimes and its expansionist, occupying policies should never be allowed under the guise of this regional conflict, such actions must not be permitted.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Israel has also begun implementing its occupation and destruction policies in Lebanon, as it has done in Gaza.

The international community should act to block Israel’s expansionism and assume the necessary responsibility against these opportunistic policies.

Qatar’s Prime Minister:

There should be a rebuilding of trust—a trust that has unfortunately been destroyed by this aggression.

We must remember that, in the end, we share the same geography. We also share a history with the Iranian people, and we do not want such hard feelings between Iranians and Qataris, or among the peoples of the region.

We want our people to live in peace.

Qatar’s Prime Minister:

We are evaluating the damages. They can be compensated—unlike human lives.

But our message is this: targeting such a facility—one that represents a major source of income and a backbone of the Qatari economy—is unacceptable.

It also supports many people around the world who are already under stress.

We hope that the Republic of Iran understands that it is depriving these vulnerable people of the support we currently provide.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Yesterday evening Abbas Araghchi called me.

There was this dialogue: “While you are calling us, missiles are now coming from the sky.”

There were missiles intercepted in Riyadh.

BREAKING: Iran hit Israel's Haifa refinery.

BREAKING: Power outage across multiple areas of Haifa, Israel following direct Iranian missile strike on the refinery.

Pete Hegseth in 2018.

The Haifa refinery (Bazan) is Israel’s largest and most critical fuel facility, supplying about 50–60% of the country’s fuel (≈60% diesel, 50% gasoline).

It processes roughly 197,000 barrels per day, meaning a large share of Israel’s transport, aviation, and military fuel depends on it.

Israel has only two refineries.
