It seems that the Iranians are focusing on the Gulf States, due to the particularly high hit rates – there is no concentration of air defense systems there like in Israel, and the Iranians can cause significant damage with a minimum of missiles.

The collapse of Tehran also undermines Qatar’s power. ******** For three decades, Qatar anchored its importance to the United States on two central pillars: hosting CENTCOM headquarters at Al Udeid Air Base and serving as an exclusive mediator with the so-called “axis of evil” (Hamas, the Taliban, and Iran). The geopolitical shifts of 2026 - foremost among them the dismantling of Hamas in “Swords of Iron,” the defeat of the Iranian regime in Operation “Epic Fury,” and the American strategic pivot to the Pacific - have turned Qatar’s assets into liabilities or rendered them redundant. 1. The collapse of the mediator model: the end of the Hamas and Iran era Doha’s greatest diplomatic asset was its ability to “talk to everyone.”    •   After Hamas: The destruction of Hamas’ governing infrastructure in Gaza and the removal of its external leadership from Qatar (under heavy American pressure) ended Qatar’s role as a channel for transferring funds and messages to the organization.    •   After Iran: Operation “Epic Fury” and the elimination of Iran’s top leadership in 2026 created a reality in which the United States no longer needs a neutral intermediary to communicate with Tehran. The new administration in Tehran (or a power vacuum under American oversight) makes Qatari mediation irrelevant. 2. Breaking the energy monopoly and control over Iran’s resources Qatar built its strength on the shared gas field with Iran (South Pars/North Dome).    •   Control of resources: With the collapse of the Iranian regime, the United States and the West would move to secure Iran’s vast energy reserves. Opening Iranian gas and oil to global markets under Western supervision would flood supply, lower prices, and erode Qatar’s relative advantage as a dominant LNG supplier.    •   End of indispensability: Qatar would shift from being an “essential partner” to an economic competitor for market share largely shaped by American interests. 3. Breaking the China–Russia axis Qatar’s thesis assumed that the U.S. would need it to balance Chinese and Russian influence in the Gulf.    •   Iran’s military defeat and the weakening of its proxies would sever Beijing’s and Moscow’s primary arm in the Middle East.    •   As the U.S. establishes direct military dominance in Persia, Qatar’s maneuvering between great powers would be viewed in Washington as a risky “double game” rather than a balancing asset. 4. CENTCOM’s shift to the Pacific (The Great Pivot) The most significant structural shift in American force posture:    •   The eastern front: In 2026, the United States would complete the shift of its military center of gravity toward the Indo-Pacific to counter China. The meeting between Narendra Modi and Netanyahu just before the outbreak of hostilities was part of that framework.    •   Reduction of Al Udeid: With the Iranian threat removed, the need for a massive base like Al Udeid diminishes. The U.S. would transition to a “flexible presence” model based on alliances with Abraham Accords states (Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia) - viewed as more stable ideological and security partners than Qatar. 5. Qatar out, Abraham Accords in While Qatar weakens, the new Middle Eastern political axis consolidates around open alliances (Saudi Arabia–Israel–United States). Bottom line: In a post-Hamas and post-ayatollah era, the United States would no longer require a “small state playing in the arena of great powers.” Qatar could find itself increasingly isolated, as economic wealth fails to buy political immunity in Washington. The central question: where does Qatar turn next - to become Erdoğan’s junior partner, or to align itself with the Abraham Accords framework? (Shlomo Filber)
