Qatar's PM Calls US-Israel War on Iran an "Earthquake" at UN Assembly

Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed addressed the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, focusing on the situation in the Middle East following the US-Israel war on Iran. He described the fallout of that war as an "earthquake" that had shaken the region.

During his remarks, the Qatari premier warned the international community against entering new cycles of escalation in the Middle East, stressing the importance of avoiding further tension that could lead to broader regional instability.

A shift in investment strategy

Alongside his comments on regional security, Sheikh Mohammed used the UN platform to announce a key shift in Qatar's investment strategy. Specific details of this change were not laid out during the address, but the announcement came in the same speech in which he set out Qatar's position on regional security.

The Qatari prime minister's appearance comes as the international community continues to assess the consequences of the US and Israeli military action against Iran for the wider Middle East. Qatar has repeatedly played a mediating role in regional conflicts, and its statements at the UN are being read as a signal of the country's future diplomatic and economic direction.
