more on this we're joined by author and associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and he's joining us live from norman shatha always good to have you with us on algis they are so yet again was seeing voices in the u.s. repeating their calls for an end to the blockade of qatar this time because of their interests and combating iran will this have an impact. unfortunately i don't think it will happen in fact you're completely right that the reason mr engel mentioned this is that it comes in the context of the tremendous efforts by the trumpet ministration to exert greater pressure on iran and with regard to this issue and a number of other issues putting the situation in yemen and mr angle has been a voice of reason but unfortunately because the trumpet ministration has been completely a taken by the sorrow of these i don't forsee that this will lead to an end of the blockade even though as mr engle said it is in the u.s. interests to have the blockade. do you say for say an end to the blockade while this trump administration as an ally unfortunately i don't know of

well somerset hasa is an associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says it will take a drastic regional events or a change in the white house for the blockades to end if there were to be some kind of a conflict with iran not even a full scale war something like that could lead to the end of the what but unfortunately i will make two points the first is i don't perceive an end to the blockade while the ministration is in power meaning if a democratic administration were to come into power after the next election i would think that there would be increased pressure on saudi arabia bahrain and egypt to end the blockade and then finally the last point is that if the obama administration had been in power almost any other administration that our this blockade would not have taken place to begin with in other words it was only under this administration and president trump's infatuation with the saudi regime that what taking place and i think in the future not only qatar but other countries in the g.c.c. not part of the blockade and smaller countries like ku
