Qatar Backs Saudi Arabia Against Houthi Najran Strike, Condemning Civilian Targeting

🕌 DOHA — Qatar backs Riyadh while simultaneously brokering Iran's exit from the war. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Qatar is Washington's back-channel to Tehran and now publicly condemning Tehran's Houthi proxy in the same breath. That dual position narrows Doha's room: Iran's hardliners gain ammunition to question Qatar's neutrality. For Riyadh, Qatar's solidarity shores up GCC unity. For the Oman framework, it adds pressure on Tehran to rein in Houthi action or risk losing a critical mediation node.
