Why was Qatar hacked by many countries overnight?

Looking at the reasons given by various countries, it seems that the caliber is unified, and most of them accuse Qatar of supporting terrorist activities and undermining the regional security situation. Qatar feels very wronged for this. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar issued a statement later that day, saying that the "crackdown" action was "unreasonable". The statement pointed out that Qatar, as a member of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), abides by the Charter, respects other countries, never interferes in other countries' internal affairs, and fulfills its obligations against terrorism and radical acts. In other words, we are all good brothers, and I am committed to fighting terrorism. How can you find this excuse to fool me?

The most direct reason is the Iranian factor, and the most direct "fuse" is the "Leak Gate" incident of Qatari Emir (head of state) Tamim.

In the Middle East, the root of almost all problems is related to sectarian opposition. The background is that Saudi Arabia, dominated by Sunnis, is at odds with Iran, dominated by Shiites. The two bosses are a pair of old enemies. For many years, Qatar, which belongs to the Saudi camp, has been secretly flirting with Iran. Qatar's "standing in the team" is not firm, which makes the "boss" Saudi Arabia quite unhappy.

What makes Saudi Arabia and other countries furious is that after Rouhani was re-elected in Iran's general election last month, the Emir of Qatar called him and publicly expressed his hope to further promote the cooperative relations with Iran. Then, the "Leak Door" incident was also "untimely".

The general situation of the "Leak Door" incident is like this. In his speech at the end of last month, Tamim publicly supported Iran, saying that Iran is the center of the region and Islam, and it is unwise to escalate tensions with Iran. Qatar immediately denied this, insisting that hackers invaded and forged the contents of the speech and asked the CIA to intervene in a thorough investigation.

What Qatar has done is regarded by Saudi Arabia as touching the red line, and it has to implement the "door rules" and "family laws", which has the potential to jointly "clean up the door".

People often say that people should not be too high-profile, and Qatar's sudden crisis of breaking diplomatic relations is the sequela of its "too high-profile" in recent years. Qatar, located in the Persian Gulf, is a pocket country with a population of more than 2 million and a territory of 1000 square kilometers. But since the new century, Qatar has the ambition of "small country and great diplomacy" and can be called "Singapore" in the Middle East.

Relying on the oil and gas wealth and the influence of Al Jazeera, Qatar has made frequent appearances on the international stage in recent years, with unlimited scenery. Doha has become a regional aviation center, and Qatar sovereign funds invest everywhere and often sponsor high-level sports events. Among other things, Qatar once hosted the 2006 Doha Asian Games and the 20 1 1 Asian Cup, and won the right to host the 2022 World Cup.

In Middle East affairs, Qatar has always been "unique", ignoring Saudi Arabia as the "boss". For example, Qatar has always supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas and Egypt; Qatar believes that Saudi Arabia and Iran should shake hands and Iran must be included in the security framework of the Gulf region. And these are exactly the taboos of Saudi Arabia.

The other is the American factor. Last month, US President Trump visited the Middle East and brought the leaders of GCC and some Islamic countries together for a meeting. One of the signals is to be tough on Iran. The "Leak Door" shows that Qatar obviously did not pay attention to the knowledge reached at this meeting. Therefore, it is not excluded that the United States is unhappy and Saudi Arabia is angry, which has triggered a crisis of breaking diplomatic relations.

This just shows that Qatar, because of its small land area, has to weigh its weight if it wants to play "big diplomacy", even if it has money. A direct and disastrous consequence is that all the land passages in Qatar are now isolated islands, and their food is mainly transported into the country by Saudi land, which makes the daily life of Qataris face a dilemma.

However, if you don't fight or make trouble, it won't be the Middle East, and diplomatic friction is very common in the Gulf region. The crisis is still brewing, but it is hard to say whether it will get out of hand. The Gulf region is a strategic place for the world's energy supply. Qatar is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and produces one third of the world's liquefied natural gas. The crisis of breaking off diplomatic relations will inevitably lead to fluctuations in global oil and gas prices, and global political and business circles are paying close attention to the development of the situation.

In short, the game of "blackmail" in the Middle East once again shows that high-profile is risky and you need to be careful when you speak.

There's an old saying in China, I'm afraid there will be no chaos in the world, so it's perfect for the Middle East. No, when the Palestinian-Israeli issue was unresolved, the wars in Syria and Yemen continued, and the "Islamic State" was still arrogant, Qatar's "breaking off crisis" was born, and international oil prices rose accordingly. The newly released Blackout Game in the chaotic Middle East has earned enough attention internationally.

On the 5th, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Yemen all announced that they would sever diplomatic relations with Qatar, ordered Qatari diplomats to leave the country within 48 hours, and prohibited Qatari citizens from going to these countries. At the same time, countries also announced that they would cut off their air, sea and land transportation links with Qatar, and some even ordered Qatari citizens to leave the country within a certain period of time.
