Reply to comment by defroach84 in Iran football legend Daei will not attend World Cup amid protests by sirbarani
Iran is Shiite and Qatar is a Wahhabi influenced Sunni state, so they aren’t friends due to religion. However they do share the world’s largest oil and gas field, which they cooperate to drill. In short, they are friendly because of petroleum, not religion.
