Subject: Qatar Crisis: 'It's Clear That Saudis Have Been Emboldened by Trump's Visit'<br>
<br>
<a href="https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201706081054423820-qatar-saudi-arabia-trump-encouragement/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sputniknews.com/<wbr>middleeast/201706081054423820-<wbr>qatar-saudi-arabia-trump-<wbr>encouragement/</a><br>

University of Illinois Professor of International Law Francis Boyle told Sputnik the Trump administration was irresponsibly supporting the Saudi aggressive policy against Qatar to advance its own anti-Iranian agenda.<br>
<br>
"It appears that President Trump is encouraging Saudi Arabia to put the screws into Qatar in order to force it into line with their hostile anti-Iranian Agenda along with the other GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] states," he said.<br>
<br>
If Qatar does not capitulate to the Saudi demands, Riyadh would probably carry out an exercise in 'regime change' or even outright invasion as it did in Bahrain, Boyle warned.<br>
<br>
"This is also a harbinger of far worse things to come against Iran," he said.<br>
<br>
Boyle is the author of "Destroying World Order: US Imperialism in the Middle East Before and After September 11."<br>
