The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, stated on Tuesday that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the damage inflicted on Ras Laffan facilities led to the disruption of a significant portion of Qatar's exports, pointing out that Qatar secures about one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas trade, making any developments affecting it resonate across markets and consumers.
​He added that his country and the region faced extraordinary events that proved once again the cohesion of state institutions, emphasizing that the national economy confronted the current crisis with strength and maintained a high growth rate during 2025.
​He explained that the policies adopted by Qatar prior to the crisis enabled it to absorb its repercussions so far, affirming that his country will emerge from the crisis more resilient and better equipped to adapt to global changes.
​He noted that his country contributed to efforts aimed at securing a ceasefire and opening waterways, pointing out that Qatar was subjected to an attack on its territory by Iran, in a flagrant violation of its sovereignty.
