        "summary": "Qatar has declared two Iranian military and security attach\u00e9s persona non grata, ordering them to leave the country within 24 hours in response to repeated Iranian aggression against its sovereignty. This action follows an Iranian missile strike on Qatar's Ras Laffan gas production facilities amid escalating Middle East tensions triggered by a joint Israel-US attack on Iran that killed around 1,300 people, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The move underscores Qatar's determination to protect its interests under international law, potentially leading to further diplomatic repercussions in the volatile region.",
