Qatar tells of huge cost of Iranian missile attack

The National (UAE) 06/30/25

The National is a UAE state-owned English-language daily newspaper published in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

According to the Financial Times, the newspaper "is seen as a mouthpiece for Abu Dhabi's worldview." The newspaper toes the government line and self-censors on issues considered objectionable by the government. The newspaper is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, which is ruled by his brother, Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

"Qatar deployed three Patriot air defence batteries in two locations and more than 200 missiles to down all but one of 20 missiles fired on the night of Monday, June 23, said Mr Al Ansari, who is also adviser to Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani."

See the issue here?

You are just not gonna win many wars

firing 200 of yours

(very expensive BTW)

to shoot down

20 of theirs

(Not all that expensive comparatively).

"The missiles were launched in two barrages of seven and 13 missiles by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)."

"Mr Al Ansari refuted the idea that the attack was co-ordinated with the Iranians, although he said the first warning that missiles were on the way came on the morning of June 23, hours before the first one was launched around 7.30pm."

"US President Donald Trump last week claimed negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme would resume “next week”. Iranian officials have denied that talks have been scheduled and want guarantees that future discussions will not be interrupted by military operations."

"Regional peace can come only with a solution for the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Mr Al Ansari added. Conflicts across the region are not only destabilising countries including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen – they are causing a “a wave of radicalisation and negative sentiment towards the West that we should not take lightly", he said. This is not a by-product but a “major result” of the escalation that lasted for nearly two years.

“It will lead to problems for all of us, 

collectively in the region, 

(And the world, count on it.)

unless we are able to deal with it.”
