Qatar called on Iran on Monday to stop attacks on its neighbors, saying Tehran is attacking Gulf countries "without any reason."

"Iran must stop the attacks immediately so that a diplomatic solution to the crisis can be found," Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari told a news briefing in Doha.

He said that the Gulf nations are not part of the current conflict.

"Stopping the attacks requires a decision from Iran's foreign minister, and Qatar will defend itself," he said.

"Contacts are still ongoing with Gulf countries to ensure de-escalation and confront Iran's attacks," he added.
