Qatar, next target of Iranian attacks?
By Olivier Guitta
In fact the Saudi daily Al Riyad very recently reported on Iranian threats on Qatar. The leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are very angered by Qatar's alliance to the US and allegedly to Israel. In case of a military confrontation between the US and Iran over the nuclear crisis, Revolutionary guards are threatening to attack Qatari oil and gaz facilities by sea and air. They plan to use suicide boats and air missiles.
One overlooked aspect of the whole Iran crisis is the huge fear instilled by Iran to Gulf Arab monarchies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Barhein and the Emirates. This is why, Arabs are trying to define a common position on that very issue. I suspect that a "middle of the road" communique is going to come out of the forthcoming Arab League summit in Khartum in order not to antagonize Iran too much.
