The statement did not name the Arab country in question, but described it as "one of the most dependent and reactionary Arab countries in the region, whose dependence on the Israeli regime has become more obvious in recent years.
The destructive role of Qatar in the region is clear. The Intelligence Ministrys statement also made [indirect] reference to Qatar. We warn Qatar against continuing to play such a role, Boroujerdi stated.
We will not compromise with anyone when it comes to our national security. We did not compromise with Britain or the United States, let alone a country like Qatar, the lawmaker stressed.
