I've Been Thinking:
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made a public defense of Qatar.
Rouhani explained that Qatar has unfairly been isolated. He said the "siege of Qatar is unacceptable."
This was reported on IRNA, an official media arm of the Iranian establishment.
This is what he said: "Tehran stands with the Qatari nation and government ... We believe that if there is a conflict between regional countries, pressure, threats or sanctions are not the right way to resolve differences." IRNA quoted Rouhani as giving over this message to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, in a telephone call.
The president also told the emir, "The siege of Qatar is unacceptable to us ... The airspace, land and sea of our country will always be open to Qatar as a brotherly and neighboring country."
This should not be a surprise. Qatar has upset the apple cart. They have come out in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah and Hamas and are suggesting that Iran be taken seriously as a regional power.
Now Iran is now coming to their defense.
