Qatar urges Gulf security autonomy, dialogue with Iran at Abu Dhabi forum

Qatar's call for greater Gulf security autonomy and renewed dialogue with Iran signals a potential shift in regional alignment, challenging the traditional reliance on the US. The statement, made at a forum in Abu Dhabi, may reflect growing Gulf frustration with US security guarantees, but it remains unclear if this translates into concrete policy changes. This development could affect US-Gulf relations and regional power dynamics.
