Qatar Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies
Although Qatar perceives Iran to be its primary strategic regional threat, it has adopted a policy of strategic hedging against Iran. The country has maintained a transactional relationship with Iran, that encompasses diplomatic and commercial ties. However, Qatar is forging and strengthening its security alliances with the US and neighboring Saudi Arabia while maintaining its relations with Iran. The key rationale behind this policy has been to avert an all-out confrontation with Iran.
Qatar increasingly perceives its security alliances and strategic partnerships with Western global powers such as France, the UK, and the US to be the cornerstone of its security policy. Over the years, the country has signed defense agreements with its Western partners and has even allowed them to maintain a considerable military presence within the country.
