US Ambassador to Türkiye and Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack told the Global Security Forum in Doha that Washington was reassessing its traditional security-for-oil relationship with the Middle East, but was not leaving the region. He also questioned the effectiveness of past US regime-change interventions.
Why it matters
Barrack's remarks signal a preference for a narrower US role as regional governments weigh reliance on American security support during negotiations with Iran.
