Explosions were heard in Qatar’s capital Doha, according to AFP journalists, adding to rising tensions in the Middle East just hours ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s key deadline.
The development comes at a critical moment as the region remains on edge amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Iran and Israel, which has now stretched beyond five weeks. While details on the nature and cause of the explosions were not immediately available, the incident is likely to heighten concerns of further escalation.
The situation is unfolding against the backdrop of intense diplomatic activity. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had recently urged President Trump to extend the deadline by two weeks to allow negotiations to progress, while also calling for a ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as confidence-building measures.
With the deadline approaching, global attention remains fixed on whether tensions will ease through diplomacy or escalate further. The reported explosions in Doha add a fresh layer of uncertainty to an already volatile situation, as markets and governments closely monitor developments in the region.
