Qatar seeks compensation for Iranian attacks

Reporting from Doha, Qatar
Qatar has sent letters to the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary General detailing what it describes as repeated Iranian attacks on the country.
The letters cite the July 7 attack on the Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat and a missile attack on Qatar on July 12, which Doha says its armed forces repelled.
Qatar says the attacks violated international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. It is seeking compensation for the resulting damage and says it reserves the right to respond.
The letters come as tensions continue in the Strait of Hormuz. UK Maritime Trade Operations reported another incident involving a vessel near Oman, the second such case in about 24 hours.
The vessel was travelling close to what is known as the southern route. Iran says ships using that route without coordinating with Tehran violate the Memorandum of Understanding governing traffic through the strait.
Tehran accuses the United States and other countries of promoting the route to weaken Iranian control over shipping, keeping the waterway at the centre of the escalating confrontation.
Fair if Iran is paid back first I think they have a long list Israel trump Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar Kuwait Jordan Bahrain Oman Azeribajan and honestly let’s throw most of Western Europe for allowing bases in their countries to be used for the war
