The statement came after Iran on Monday launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday.
Qatar confirmed the attack on the US-run Al Udeid base, calling it a "flagrant violation", and said it reserves the right to respond directly.
The country has temporarily closed its airspace, and US and UK citizens have been advised to shelter in place.
