Prakash Kafle/Kathmandu. In a significant diplomatic escalation, Qatar has declared military and security attaches at the Iranian Embassy as ‘persona non grata,’ ordering them to exit the country within 24 hours. The Qatari Foreign Ministry announced this move as a direct response to repeated acts of aggression carried out by Iran.
According to the official statement, the expulsion applies to all officials handling military and security affairs at the embassy, along with their subordinate staff. This decisive action underscores Qatar’s refusal to tolerate ongoing provocations and marks a sharp decline in bilateral relations. The 24-hour ultimatum highlights the urgency of the situation as the regional security climate continues to shift.
