Qatar's energy boss says he had warned of dangers of provoking Iran

As Qatar reels from an Iranian attack that has hobbled its giant natural gas company, its boss, who doubles as the country's energy minister, says he had warned officials and executives of just such a danger should Iran's own sites be hit.

"I was always warning, talking to executives from oil and gas that are partnered with ‌us, talking to the U.S. Secretary of Energy, to warn him of that consequence and that that could be detrimental to us," QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters.

QatarEnergy's partners include major U.S. energy companies such as ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips.
