WANA (Aug 26) – The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic of Iran Army outlined the latest efforts and developments regarding the status of the missing Sukhoi pilots, confirming that comprehensive inquiries have been pursued through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Office, the Army General Staff, and directly with the Qatari military and government officials.

 

According to the military official, despite repeated inquiries, Qatari authorities have consistently maintained that they have no knowledge of the pilots’ whereabouts.

 

“We genuinely demand that the Qatari side address this matter with greater seriousness and provide a clear, documented response so that we can accept the evidence and learn the fate of these cherished pilots,” the spokesperson stated.

 

Addressing the Qatari Foreign Ministry’s statement of ignorance, the Iranian army official emphasized that if Doha is indeed unaware, it must act with greater responsibility than it currently displays and intensify its efforts to determine the condition of the missing crew.
