I doubt your prediction will be accurate since Qatar/UAE could exert pressure on USG to do nothing or little, such as meaningless lip service or they could link this to defense issues, which is FAR important to U.S. government than US3's whiny claims. Also, aviation industry play a huge role in those countries, and I can assure you that key players between ME3's aviation industry and government gonna make US3 paying price.
Meanwhile, EK add 2nd DXB-BOS, it really feel like US3 really poke EK hard enough to shift their attention toward US. that's what gonna happens when you wake up sleeping giant from desert.
