#QasemSoleimani was targeted by hunter-killer drone that took off from Qatar.

Who is in #Iran today? Qatar foreign minister.

Samir

nope. there's everything but drones.

Quentin de Pimodan

if that is true, regarding the origin, it is only natural the FM tries to talk with Iranians in order to calm down their eventual furor toward Qatar no?After all that's his job as it is KSA authorities' job to issue a statement calling for restraint to protect their interests no?

Rasheed Abou-Alsamh ... · 5h Yes

Hussein Ibish .... But in fairness, it’s good that they are speaking to Tehran and Washington simultaneously.

Ali Adbullah....source?

Reza Khaasteh

The first round of talks btw @JZarif and the Qatari FM was held in Tehran. The second round is to be held behind closed doors. There are reports that the Qatari FM is here to explain about possible use of US base in Qatar for operation against #Soleimani

Twitter is having a discussion on where the Drone took off.

The big picture is getting clearer.
Wictor may be more right about the GCC role than I thought.

US amphib ship Bataan headed to area with load of Marines. I expect they’ll disembark at a friendly port, but who knows. Hormuz area would be an easy and profitable target if Iran kicks up.
