#2 We can laugh but there's a serious issue: Iran has been claiming the dependencies on the western edge of the Persian Gulf for quite a while. Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait are all supposedly provinces of the Greater Persian State.

So the chief of staff visited Iran last month? Wonder what he was promised?

#3 They attempted a coup, failed, and were fired?

What happened to jailed and/or executed? When did Qatar go all touchy-feely?
