My remarks shared with @metrouk.bsky.social on the US troop reduction in Qatar, a major Middle East base, after Iran tensions continue to grow.
This is a obviously strategic and operational calculation – not a retreat!

Spoke to @metrouk.bsky.social this morning on Iran. US strikes would hand the regime the ‘existential threat’ narrative it thrives on - erasing a civic movement and justifying harsher repression. Force hardens systems; it doesn’t free societies.
