DOHA (Reuters) - Qatar's prime minister has warned that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would "entirely contaminate" the waters of the Gulf and threaten life in Qatar, the UAE and Kuwait.

Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani has warned that an attack on Iran's Gulf coast nuclear facilities would leave countries across the region without water.

According to Iranian state media, Qatar said that “Persian Gulf states will run out of drinking water in three days if Iran’s nuclear sites attacked.”
