Qatar: Iran is legally responsible for hits on three tankers in strait of Hormuz

Qatar warned Iran it bears full legal responsibility after three commercial tankers, including a Qatari LNG vessel, were struck in the strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. The US military launched retaliatory strikes against Iran, accusing Tehran of violating a ceasefire agreement and attacking innocent civilian crews in an international waterway. Iran disputed the charge, claiming the US breached their memorandum by opening new shipping routes without Tehran's consent and asserting its right to impose transit fees for security services in the strait.
