Ebrahim Raisi is Iran’s newly elected president despite his records and history, some of the countries have come out to support his leadership and maintain diplomatic ties. But one of the most shocking gestures shown is by Qatar.
The Emir of Qatar
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Than has gifted an Airbus A380 aircraft to the newly
elected president-elect of Iran. The move is a sign that Qatar wants to build a
healthy relationship with Iran and its newly elected president but this is
contrary to what the official of Qatar suggested earlier.
They had pointed
out that since the name of Iran came into the state funded terrorisms list, it
has limited its ties with the country. Iran was called out for supporting
violence in the region and creating an atmosphere of unrest in the country.
Qatar too was dragged into the matter and since then remained strict towards
the country.
But now, this
gesture shown by the Emir of Qatar proves that there is not even the slightest
truth in this. Qatar’s willingness in further developing the relations with
iran. It is clear that Qatar wants to play from all sides and avail the
benefits. It is to be noted that this is not the first time that Qatar has
shown such a huge gesture for a country.
Earlier in 2018,
Qatar’s emir had gifted a $500 million private jet to Turkey president Recep
Tayyip Erdogan. There is a reason why Iran-Qatar-Turkey forms a band that is
different from the countries forming a diplomatic pool. Though it might be
common for countries to form a diplomatic partnership, their relations with
each other overpowers the diplomatic corridors.
Iran and Qatar
function on a similar regional agenda, that essentially brings the two
together. This means they are more than regional allies who have each other's
support in destabilization of major armies in the Arab world. Qatar was also
responsible for aiding the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah.
It not only aids
them and provides a safe home to the terrorists, especially those backed by
Iran, but also gives them crucial information that helps them launch attacks on
civilians and other countries. Even the rockets that were fired by Hezbollah
during the rocket barrage were directed by Qatari intelligence.
Hence the gift to
the Iranian president might be shocking when considered from a diplomatic
partnership but when you dig deep into the relation of these two countries, it
is not as surprising. The Sheikh had also sent a cable of congratulations to
the top Iranian official on Saturday after the victory was confirmed.
