QATAR SUMMONS IRANIAN AMBASSADOR OVER MISSILE ATTACK.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry has summoned the Iranian ambassador to Doha to condemn Iran's recent missile attack on the al-Udeid military base in Qatar. 

The attack, which targeted U.S. military personnel, was part of Iran's retaliatory strikes following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Qatar expressed concerns over the violation of its sovereignty and stressed the importance of good neighborly relations with Iran.

The country has been a proponent of dialogue with Iran and has made diplomatic efforts to promote peace in the region. 

Qatar has also urged the United Nations Security Council to take urgent measures to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.

The al-Udeid base was reportedly evacuated before the attack, and Qatar reopened its airspace after temporarily closing it. 

Bahrain and Kuwait, which also host US military facilities, took similar precautionary measures by closing and reopening their airspace.
