Qatar expels Iranian diplomatic attaches following missile strike on LNG facility
Qatar expelled Iranian military and security attaches from the Iranian Embassy after Iranian missiles struck the Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas facility, causing extensive damage. The diplomatic expulsion was described by Qatar's Foreign Ministry as a response to violations of sovereignty and repeated Iranian targeting of Qatari energy infrastructure. The strikes are part of a broader Iranian campaign against Gulf infrastructure following the collapse of nuclear negotiations and U.S.-Israeli strikes.
