Qatar is doing the diplomatic heavy lifting while everyone else holds their breath
The Gulf is sweating bullets as election dust settles and backchannel talks scramble to keep the peace.
Right now, Qatar is essentially acting as the world's most stressed-out frantic babysitter. They have been running around for the last few days trying to play referee between Iran and the United States to stop a fresh round of fireworks.
The region is currently a total nervous wreck waiting to see if post-election politics turns into an actual regional showdown. Everyone is terrified that things are about to go from diplomatic tense to full-blown military strike at any second.
Diplomacy is officially just a very desperate game of keep-away with an aircraft carrier.
