Qatar rejects the Washington Post’s allegations and denies any coordination with Iran regarding energy production

The International Information Office in the State of Qatar categorically rejected the false allegations of the Washington Post about coordination with Iran in energy production decisions or to achieve its interests, or with the aim of influencing the course of events in the region, stressing that these allegations ignore the State of Qatar’s response to Iranian missile attacks at that time.

The office explained, in a statement published by the Qatar News Agency, that the declaration of force majeure at the Ras Laffan LNG facility came as a commitment to the safety of employees based on the assessments of the Qatari Armed Forces, stressing the transparency of Qatar Energy.

The office indicated that it is the responsibility of prestigious media institutions, such as the Washington Post, to adhere to the highest journalistic standards, especially when dealing with issues with major global repercussions, pointing out that it is extremely unfortunate that the Washington Post allowed, in this case, to be used as a platform to pass a media disinformation campaign behind which parties seek to undermine efforts aimed at achieving peace in the region, so that the newspaper thus contributes to the publication of false allegations, without adhering to the standards of accuracy that its readers expect.
