UPDATE 10:00 AM EDT --

President Trump just signed an executive order: ANY attack on Qatar = a direct threat to the United States.

Remember: the largest U.S. airbase in the Middle East is in Qatar. And in the last 24 hours, dozens of American fighter jets and refueling tankers have been shifted eastward — many landing at Al-Udeid Airbase.

This isn’t routine diplomacy. This looks like the U.S. setting the legal and military stage for an Iranian strike that could come from Qatari soil.

The order states:

“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.

In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar.”
