Sheikh Hamad's 18-year rule catapulted Qatar to prosperity and reshaped its domestic, regional and global footprint.
Sheikh Hamad, who ruled Qatar from 1995 to 2013 and stepped aside to make his son Sheikh Tamim emir, dies aged 74.
After Sheikh Hamad's death, global leaders offer condolences, praise his legacy and Qatar’s growth.
Also on Sunday, the IRGC said it struck and disabled a second vessel in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted the U.S. strategic air base at Al Udeid in Qatar with ballistic missiles.
Sheikh Hamad, who stepped down in June 2013 after 18 years as emir, was the architect of energy-rich Qatar's stunning ambitions that turned it from a backwater into an international crossroads in less than a generation.
The Father Emir oversaw the meteoric rise of the small gas-rich nation.
