“Iran must stop the attacks immediately so that a diplomatic solution to the crisis can be found,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Majed al-Ansari said on Monday, adding that Tehran was attacking civilian areas. “Iran is attacking Gulf countries without any reason and must stop its attacks because we are outside the conflict,” the spokesman said during a news conference in the Qatari capital Doha. Iran has been targeting US assets and civilian sites in Gulf countries since the US and Israel began bombing Iran on February 28. The attacks have killed more than 1,400 people in Iran and damaged military as well as civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, airports and sea ports. Tehran also has fired barrages of drones and missiles at Israel, killing at least 15 people. Qatar and other Gulf states have been urging Iran to halt its attacks, with the Qatari envoy to the United Nations last week describing the assault as a violation of international law and the UN Charter.
