Qatar responded to reports of a possible failure of the agreement between the United States and Iran. This was stated in a statement by the Ministry of International Communications of the Arab country. "Messages spread on social networks are baseless and misleading," the document reads. The Communications Bureau stated that Al Thani's words were subjected to "systematic distortion by forces benefiting from the continuation of the war and the instability in the region". The department also stressed that fake accounts on social media are massively spreading false messages with the aim of disrupting diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between the US and Iran and provoking further escalation. The Qatari authorities saw such actions as extremely irresponsible.
