Are we going to take sides in a "regional" war?

Details of a military base to be built in Qatar, according to an agreement reached between Turkey and Qatar, were discussed at the parliament's foreign affairs committee.

According to the information provided, the Turkey-Qatar "Division Tactic Headquarters" will be set up in Doha. The contingent will be commanded by a Qatari major general while his deputy will be a brigadier general from the Turkish Armed Forces. There will be 500 to 600 Turkish troops present at the base. 

When the deal was made, you may remember; it was said that the military base would be used against "common enemies." 

Before the military agreement with Qatar, a "very comprehensive" military agreement was reached with Saudi Arabia. When the government said the military dimension of this deal was limited to "advising and training," the president had said, "No, if necessary, joint operations can be conducted." You will also remember that. 

More than a year has passed. We have learned that the base in Qatar will be opened soon.  

Last week, Saudi Defense Minister and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman accused Iran of upholding an "extremist ideology with an ambition to control the Islamic world." He also said, "We will not wait until the fight is inside Saudi Arabia and we will work so that the battle is on their side, inside Iran, not in Saudi Arabia." 

Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan said they "will leave nothing standing in the kingdom except for the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina" if the Saudis do anything "ignorant."

If this tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran turns into a military showdown and clash, it is not difficult to guess that Qatar will find itself inside this fire. 

Let's hope this does...
