Qatar's foreign ministry said it regretted the measures by the Arab nations calling the decisions "unjustified," Aljazeera reported.

"The measures are unjustified and are based on claims and allegations that have no basis in fact," the statement said, adding that the decisions would "not affect the normal lives of citizens and residents". 

"The aim is clear, and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of its (Qatar's) sovereignty as a state," it added. 

Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates on Monday decided to sever diplomatic ties with Qatar for allegedly embracing several terrorist groups and its ties with Iran.
