Syrian President Ahmed Al Sharaa Condemns Iran's Brutal Aggression Against Qatar
Syria condemns Iran
Syrian President Ahmed Al Sharaa publicly condemned what he called "brutal Iranian aggression" against Qatar during a phone call with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
“Syrian President أحمد الشرع renewed Syria’s condemnation of the ongoing “brutal Iranian aggression” against the State of Qatar and the countries of the region, in a phone call with the Emir of Qatar, الشيخ تميم بن حمد آل ثاني, on Sunday”
He reiterated Damascus's strong denunciation of Iran's actions and aligned Syria with Qatar's position.

This direct formulation, using the phrase "brutal Iranian aggression", signals a severe diplomatic rebuke from Syria communicated in the leaders' exchange.
Call for de-escalation
According to a joint statement cited by QNA, both leaders called for an immediate halt to escalation "to prevent chaos" and urged stronger regional and international efforts to create conditions for de‑escalation.
The statement explicitly advocated using political and diplomatic means under the UN Charter as the preferred path to bolstering regional security and stability, framing the response in legal and diplomatic terms rather than military escalation.

Damascus–Doha de-escalation
The call highlights coordination between Damascus and Doha on de-escalatory diplomacy.
“Syrian President أحمد الشرع renewed Syria’s condemnation of the ongoing “brutal Iranian aggression” against the State of Qatar and the countries of the region, in a phone call with the Emir of Qatar, الشيخ تميم بن حمد آل ثاني, on Sunday”
Syria's explicit condemnation of Iran's actions and Qatar's engagement with Syria culminated in a joint appeal to regional and international actors to step up efforts to defuse tensions.
Both sources present the leaders' approach as prioritising political and diplomatic channels, invoking the UN Charter as the mechanism to stabilise the region.
Response to Iran actions
By characterising Iran’s actions as “brutal aggression” and jointly urging immediate de‑escalation, the leaders signalled concern about wider regional spillover—QNA’s reference to preventing “chaos” underscores that worry.
The dual emphasis on urgent action and on leveraging international law suggests the two states seek both rapid calming measures and a framework for longer‑term stability anchored in diplomatic norms.
