The Strait of Hormuz blockade is unacceptable, Qatar's Prime Minister calls for collective action Qatar's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs gave an interview to CNN, discussing the regional tensions caused by the US-Iran conflict. 'While it's possible to impose a blockade on Iran, it would also mean that Gulf countries, especially Qatar, would be blockaded as well. We wouldn't be able to send ships out to sea, which is extremely difficult and challenging,' he said. 'As everyone can see, that strait is not safe, and this situation is unacceptable. The strait is an international waterway, and this is a global issue.' He called on the international community to take coordinated action to address the situation, stating that the security of the strait 'is being used as a tool to wage war, which is absolutely unacceptable.' Sheikh Mohammed added, 'For us, to protect our people and future generations, we must put an end to the manipulation and extortion involving these waterways.' 'Any actions that use waterways to blockade other countries or restrict freedom of navigation are unacceptable. This is bullying, and we reject any blockades or threats imposed by any country or force,' he said. This growing chorus of condemnation is becoming the mainstream.
