Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani: "First of all, the presence of Al-Udeid Air Base or anything in Qatar... Qatar does not accept the launching of any attacks or wars from that base against countries and nations in the region and beyond.

"Secondly, we have a strategic partnership with the Americans on many levels. Of course, they have their own relations and they make their own sovereign decisions, which are not influenced by Qatar, and Qatar also has relations of its own, about which it makes its own sovereign decisions, and the U.S. also understands these decisions and does not intervene."
