Qatar's Foreign Ministry declared the Iranian embassy's military and security attaches and their office staff persona non grata and gave them 24 hours to leave, citing repeated Iranian attacks.

Doha paired the expulsions with a warning that it reserves the right to respond, calling the attack a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and a direct threat to its national security.
