Iran said on Sunday the London attacks were a "wake-up call" and urged Western states to go after ideological and financial sources of terrorism, state media reported, in a thinly veiled reference to Saudi Arabia.
Following joint military operations during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Qatar and the United States concluded a Defense Cooperation Agreement that has been subsequently expanded. In April, 2003, the U.S. Combat Air Operations Center for the Middle East moved from Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base, southwest of Doha, the Qatari capital.
Al Udeid and other facilities in Qatar serve as logistics, command, and basing hubs for the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations, including Iraq and Afghanistan. In spite of serving as the host to a large U.S. military presence, and supporting U.S. regional initiatives, Qatar has remained mostly secure from terrorist attacks. Terrorist statements indicate that energy infrastructure and U.S. military facilities in Qatar remain potential targets. U.S. officials have described Qatar’s counter-terrorism cooperation since the September 11 attacks as significant
its actually the biggest US military base in the middle east, that is mad
how the fuck will Trump handle this? He was just sword dancing with Saudi Princes so he cant talk shit to them, but also the biggest base and strategic cooperation with Qatar.
The crazy thing with the Qataris is how much of London they own. They own more than the Queen. I would imagine that's also why politicians in the UK are loathe to chastise them to harshly.
No hotels but trump has active business links with Saudi prior to presidency and was calling them terrorists for 9/11 during campaign. (the ignorance of public can always be relied on) exploit by any means necessary.. Even if it means pandering to far right narratives.
now what does he do about the biggest US airbase in the middle east located in Qatar and Qatar's cooperation in counter terrorism

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Monday that they did not expect a decision by some Gulf countries to sever ties with Qatar to affect the fight against terrorism but urged them to address their differences.
these guys need to stop making statements before Trump has his rants
