The recent isolation of Qatar is a strange development, especially considering that they host the biggest US base in the region on their territory. It's a strange country where about 97% of the population are foreigners who just do the work. So you can't attack that country without killing a whole lot of Indians/ Nepalese/ Egyptians/ Bangladeshis/ Pakistanis/ Sri Lankans/ Filipinos/ etc. All the other Gulf States suddenly have suddenly agreed that Qatar is the enemy, and totally coincidentally Tehran gets attacked by ISIS within hours.
Tension in the Gulf?
