Germany's top diplomat in Qatar as he continues Middle East tour

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul arrived in Qatar on Wednesday as Iranian missiles and drones continue to rain on the Gulf region in response to joint Israeli-US attacks.

Wadephul embarked on a visit to the Middle East earlier this week that has so far taken him to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in a show of support for allies targeted by Tehran.

Germany's top diplomat plans to hold talks in Doha with Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss the war that saw Iran swiftly target US military bases in the Gulf region after Israel and the US launched their initial attacks on February 28.

Attacks on the region continued on Wednesday, with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman all reporting intercepted drone and missile strikes.

The Government of Dubai Media Office said two drones came down near the city's international airport, injuring four people.

A plume of smoke could be seen as far as the airport of Abu Dhabi, where Wadephul landed earlier on Wednesday.

Qatar, which is home to the key US military base al-Udeid, on Tuesday stressed that it will, for the time being, continue to refrain from actively intervening in the military confrontation with Iran.

"Qatar is not a party in this war," Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said. "We still believe in diplomacy, but we will respond appropriately to any attack on Qatar."

He said Qatar is striving to de-escalate the conflict and communication channels with Tehran remain open.

The country has been targeted by dozens of Iranian drone and missile attacks and shot down two Iranian fighter jets.
