Qatar has bolstered its ties with Iran in defiance of Gulf Arab rivals that have been blockading the country for over two months because of its sympathies with Tehran and alleged support for Islamist extremism.
The move is likely to inflame tensions in the region; Sunni Arab nations imposed the Qatari embargo as part of a Saudi-led diplomatic and military offensive against the growing regional influence of Shia Iran.
Qatar’s doubling down on its ties to Iran is also a challenge to the US, which has an important military base outside the Qatari capital of Doha and has been trying to defuse the crisis between the Gulf rivals.
