Responding to a question from Agence France-Presse about the mutual military threats between Tehran and Washington, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majid Al-Ansari said at a press conference: “We are aware that any escalation would have catastrophic consequences in the region and beyond, and therefore we want to avoid it as much as possible.”
