'Important but not enough': Iran war shows Gulf cannot rely on US for security, Qatar says Spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majed al-Ansari, said the war on Iran had shown that Gulf states could no longer rely on strategic alliances with the United States for their security. Speaking at the Hili Forum in Abu Dhabi, Ansari said the international forces and the US alliance were important but "not enough" to ensure the security of the region. “We need to realise in the Gulf that having international forces in the region, having a strategic alliance with the US is very important but is not enough.
