Egyptian warship to head to Persian Gulf

View attachment 410958
Some Persian Gulf Countries have requested that Egypt send a warship to the Persian Gulf as tensions with Qatar escalate.

The Commander of Egypt’s Navy, Read Admiral Ahmad Khaled Hassan, said that Qatar is the cause of the region’s instability because of its support of terrorist groups, and this is why many Arab countries have opted for cutting their ties with it. Of course, some countries, such as Iran and Turkey, have supported Qatar because of their own interests, with Turkey sending some thousands of soldiers to Qatar.

The developments in the regions have led one of the countries of the Persian Gulf to request that Egypt’s navy send one of its warships to an area close to the Persian Gulf so that they would be prepared for anything so that in case anything happens it can be ready for operations. This decision was faced by opposition from some figures from Persian Gulf countries, and some are lobbying to resolve these differences.

According to the revelations of Ahmad Khaled Hassan, this move is in no way intended to raise tension, and is only done with the intent to stabilize the region. So far, the UAE and Bahrain have expressed their approval of the Egyptian warship entering the Persian Gulf.

One lousy frigate won't make much of a difference.

According to official sources the number will be 5000 in the end

The number should be increased to ten thousand though five thousand is a big jump from the initial three hundred.

Tillerson meets Emir of Qatar and refuses to receive journalists' questions after the meeting

In a striking development that leaves many unanswered questions - shortly after the arrival of US Secretary of State to Qatar # from Kuwait # - Tillerson left for # Washington!

UAE minister says demand to shut Al Jazeera dropped

 

[The SC]

According to the latest statement, Qatar has two options, either the implementation of the conditions or the continuation of the crisis and among the conditions the closing of Al Jazeera..So these news are not true until the announcement of an update on the 13 conditions..

From the original article of Times/London:

The newspaper's report is based on statements from Noura al-Kaabi, the UAE minister of state for national council affairs, in which she said her country was asking for "substantial changes and restructuring" on Al-Jazeera rather than closing it.

If you go back a few pages back on this thread, you'll find the same statement proposed by the US.. So there is nothing new..

 

[The SC]

All the mediations for Qatar failed and the last of which is the American.. The solution is in Riyadh and its conditions are known, otherwise there will be more ironing..

Tillerson took what he wanted from Qataris and did not give them what they wanted, he signed them to a specific agreement.. They wanted him to press Saudi Arabia and the UAE to strengthen Qatar's position but he couldn't.. So he left after taking what he wanted without giving them what they wanted..he left them to pay the costs of the war on terrorism and went back home..

Regarding KSA's role here, isnt it interesting that in trying to "fix" its neighborhood(to supposedly deal with regional threats), alot of instability has been created? At the end of the day, no country that can withstand pressure/threats will give in easily so Saudis and Emiratis need to watch how they treat Qatar if not things can get alot worse or the damage might be irreversible.From my observations, muslims hate oppression and humiliation and Qatar will not give in as long as she feels her back is to the wall unfairly. Offcourse Qatar is smart to maintain cordial relations with Iran- its to protect national interests aka North Dome gas field.

This GCC beef is getting tiring and boring though.

The fact is neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE need Qatar, but Qatar needs them.. Qatar is playing the Usraeli policy against its neighbours..if willingly than it is a traitor, if unwillingly, that means it has a stupid leadership that has/ is and can jeopardize the whole Arab world scene.. so the best is to call it off with Qatar for the time being till things get clearer.. it is a dangerous situation..

The slow build-up of Turkish soldiers in Qatar has continued, despite their withdrawal being one of the demands that Saudi Arabia and its allies have insisted Doha complies with before they lift their blockade of the emirate.

The Qatari ministry of defence (MoD) announced on 11 July that a fifth instalment of Turkish soldiers had arrived in Doha to join their comrades at the Tariq bin Zayid Battalion base, under the provisions of the military co-operation agreement signed by the two countries. The ministry released photographs showing Turkish troops disembarking from a Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) C-130J-30 transport aircraft.

The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) did not confirm the statement, but Turkish newspapers reported on the following day that that a 45-strong commando unit affiliated to the Istanbul-based 1st Army Command had arrived in Doha. The Dogan News Agency (DHA) reported that another contingent of about 25 soldiers from an artillery unit would arrive in Qatar between 16 and 19 July with T-155 Fırtına self-propelled howitzers.

Neither country has revealed the total number of Turkish soldiers currently in Qatar. The Qatari MoD reported the arrival of the batches on 18, 22, and 39 June respectively, and released photographs showing Turkish soldiers and ACV-15 armoured personnel carriers being unloaded from QAEF C-17 transports at Al-Udeid Air Base. The TSK said the group that arrived on 22 June consisted of 23 personnel and five armoured vehicles. A senior Turkish defence official told parliament in May that the country had 94 soldiers in Qatar at that time.

If Qatar kicks American swines out of it's territory, i will consider it as an awakening for an Arab state.
Undoubtedly after such an incident, Iran can send it's troops to support Qatar from invasion alongside Turkish forces.
Not to mention that USA is the only terrorist state in the world and Arabian dictators are just some kind of puppets. @The SC

Qatar, due to its very tiny size and population has always seeked some powerful protector.. this threat from Trump must have been anticipated by Qatar&CO, which justifies the call to Turkey to send some troops..I doubt that Iran will send troops along the Turks, they are not best friends as you know.. and the most important point is that there are no plans for invading Qatar from the Arab states.. Turkey is holding on to Qatar wealth more than to Qatari people, Turkey has a lot of projects of its own and would love to have the Qatari wealth to finance them.. it is a question of interests, but at the end, it is Qatar who has so much to loose by splitting from the GCC, he is like a lost sheep who has invited a wolf to protect him, how stupid one can be!?

Agreed. it's a matter of history and geo politics.

this threat from Trump must have been anticipated by Qatar&CO, which justifies the call to Turkey to send some troops..

Turkey has sent troops as you mentioned to protect it's ally and more importantly it's greatest investor. Qatar has almost 20 billion $ investment in Turkey. A huge number at all which Trump wants to end and force Qatar to bring that money into American companies. With that, they can hurt Turkish industries. Never forget post coup Turkey knows that west is a back stabber. The other factor is MB and Turkey's plans to restore it's powerful territory which western powers destroyed in the past. In this case the ones who cooperated with UK to overthrow Turkish empire are the current enemies of Qatar, however, except for Egypt.
Iran's support for Qatar was shocking to me too if i be honest to you bro.
IRGC has signed military pact with Qatari navy to protect Qatar's coastal lines from invaders.
At the same time USA has it's one of the biggest naval bases in Qatar. It is a harmony and i have no doubt IRGC is trying to satisfy Qatar to kick Americans out of it's lands. Due to IRGC's history of actions against Americans though.
Please in your thoughts, do separate IRGC from governmental idiots who may have shaken American dirty hands in the past. Me as a fan of IRGC, want to kill every American soldier in the Persian gulf. It's probably something about religious and geopolitic combination in my thoughts and also IRGC doctorine. Killing or buzzing Americans in Persian gulf is a glory for people like me.
Qatar if stands against USA, will have our complete support and the worst scenario is a war between GCC members which will lead to USA's complete dominance in those countries.
If i wanted Iran's or Turkey's presence in Qatar, obviously the reason is avoiding such a war not for warmongering. Because i believe that whole the mess is an American plan to divide and conquer

it is a question of interests, but at the end, it is Qatar who has so much to loose by splitting from the GCC, he is like a lost sheep who has invited a wolf to protect him, how stupid one can be!?

GCC or Arab brotherhood is not something that i don't like, this rift can have a good end with negotiations between Arab states and removal of USA's filthy presence.

What can be said for that? The guy is right as he once said, the Gulf states won't exist without us. Disgusting... Obama also called Gulf "Free Riders" once I remember. The Gulf seem to understand today what Obama meant before.
