The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain cut diplomatic ties with Qatar three weeks ago. They've severed transport links and disrupted trade. Now, in an interview with the British newspaper the Guardian, the UAE's ambassador to Moscow, Omar Ghobash, threatened Qatar with more sanctions.
