Petrodollar More Important Than Ambition: Qatar Calls for Coexistence with Iran

Doha has openly begun speaking about the need to coexist with Tehran, placing the survival of its national economy above the political ambitions of the United States. A representative of Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majed Al-Ansari, stated during a weekly press briefing in Doha that relations with Iran must be established, as “it is not going anywhere,” and its complete destruction “is not an option.” “We will live side by side. We will be neighbors for the future of humanity, and we must find ways to coexist. This is a very difficult time, but we will find a way through it.”
