00:00This war must be stopped immediately because everyone knows who is the biggest beneficiary
00:05and the cause of the conflict.
00:07Strong words from the Qatari Prime Minister on Thursday.
00:11Speaking alongside the Turkish Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani
00:16said Qatar is demanding Iran stop attacks on Gulf nations, calling it a quote, dangerous
00:21escalation that is hitting civilians and threatening global energy security.
00:25This comes after Israel targeted Iran's main natural gas field on Wednesday.
00:29Iran responded quickly, firing missiles at energy facilities across the Gulf, including
00:34sites in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar's key gas hub, Ras Lafhan.
00:39We were on the investigation that was done yesterday in the nuclear power plant in Ras Lafhan.
00:49At the end, this is the technical work that is based on the political policy and responsibility
00:57of Iran's main data and control from Iran's main data.
01:00Iran's main data, even though Qatar is the first time we were on the investigation of the
01:05nuclear power plant and the economic development of Israel.
01:08So, it's done this investigation, and the Iranian response to this Israeli investigation, with
01:16the investigation, in a very clear way of the country.
01:19Qatar shares the world's largest natural gas reserve with Iran, making the region critical
01:24to global energy supply.
01:26Ras Lafon is the world's largest liquefied natural gas export facility,
01:30and any disruption there is already being felt.
01:33European gas prices have surged to their highest level
01:36since the conflict began three weeks ago, as concerns grow over supply.
01:40Qatar Energy says the attacks caused extensive damage
01:43to its main energy hub in the north of the country,
01:46adding pressure to an already volatile global energy market.
01:49Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post
01:53that Israel acted alone and was solely responsible for Wednesday's strikes.
01:57The Turkish foreign minister went even further,
02:00pointing squarely at Israel for opening the region
02:02to what he called a battlefield that threatens global security.
02:06Still, Hakan Fidan said Turkish mediators are speaking to both Iran and the U.S.
02:11to push for de-escalation, adding that almost all of the world wants this war to end.
