Country overview

Qatar faces a substantially elevated external threat environment following the onset of U.S.-Iran hostilities in early 2026, with Iranian drone and missile strikes having targeted U.S. military and civilian infrastructure inside Qatar, including critical energy facilities at Ras Laffan.

A U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding signed in June 2026 reduced immediate escalation pressure, but strikes and retaliatory attacks have resumed since July 2026, leaving the situation unpredictable.

Qatar's domestic security environment remains stable, with very low crime, no organized political opposition, and no civil unrest, but the external threat picture keeps the overall threat context at HIGH.
