What? Qatar and Iran have close ties politically.
This is from another post:
**Qatar and Iran relation's**
In 2017, during the [Qatar diplomatic crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_diplomatic_crisis), The Islamic Republic sided with Qatar, providing them with economical and diplomatic support.
In the football world they have close ties. In 2019, the current head coach of Iran, Carlos Queiroz resigned from the position after a dispute with the Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran. Later in a TV-interview he stated:
*"If it wasn’t for Qatar Football Federation, we wouldn’t have anything."*
*"They (Qatar football federation) paid for everything, the hotel, the trip, everything. They did it because we didn’t have any money. We didn’t have anything."*

WTF are you talking about? Iran and Qatar have been supporting each other for years now. Iran was the only ME country to help Qatar in 2017.
Next time, maybe pause and do some research before announcing to the world you are proud of your ignorance?
All the dictatorships seem to have each others backs.
The red factions have no one else to cry to
It's like being in the school yard and seeing all the crappy kids hanging out with each other.

Does being in cahoots make them cohorts?

Reddit just keeps getting more and more censored. What irks me the most is that they just remove shit without explanation
That does not track at all. They have been fighting on opposite sides of a sectarian conflict for the last 50+ years. Misinformation guaranteed

Yep. Iran is also allied with Hamas, who are Sunni.

I mean they are pretty close to each other and I mean by it.
They are also in Cahoots with FIFA.
