🇶🇦 Majed al-Nasari, Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson, says the US military presence in the region is "not enough" anymore.
He says instead of calling for the US to reinforce its position, Qatar advocates self-sufficiency, diversification in the security realm and for the Persian Gulf Arab states to be responsible for their own defence.
**Iran's been saying this for 47 years, BTW.
