Qatar Says 'Everyone Pays' for Iran War as Mediation Efforts Continue

Qatar has warned that "everyone pays" the cost of the ongoing war involving Iran, even as it continues to pursue mediation efforts, according to a report from Euronews in Spanish.

The U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran continues to disrupt global trade, the report said, while two regional powers have moved to reinforce Saudi Arabia's defenses. Qatar said negotiations toward a resolution are continuing and expressed support for what the report described as the "Mecca alliance," a regional security arrangement.

However, Qatari officials indicated it would be premature for Qatar itself to join that pact at this stage, the report said, suggesting Doha is seeking to balance its mediating role with caution about formal new security commitments.

Qatar has historically positioned itself as a diplomatic intermediary in Middle East conflicts, hosting talks involving multiple regional and international parties. The report did not detail the specific terms of the Mecca alliance, which countries are party to it, or the current state of the broader negotiations over the Iran conflict.
