Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday urged a halt to escalation and return to dialogue after Iranian missiles targeted countries across the Gulf.

On a call "both sides emphasized the necessity of an immediate halt to any escalatory actions and a return to the dialogue table to preserve regional security and prevent a slide toward broader confrontations," the office of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said in a statement.
