Doha: The General Secretariat of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers condemned on Thursday the targeting of the Qatari LNG tanker 'Al Rekayyat' and the Saudi crude carrier 'Wadiyan' as they transited the Strait of Hormuz. It also denounced the attacks targeting the State of Kuwait and the Kingdom of Bahrain.

According to Qatar News Agency, the General Secretariat stated that these acts constitute a violation of international laws and conventions and the principles of good neighborliness, representing a dangerous escalation that jeopardizes regional and global economic interests and threatens international peace and security.
