UAE Prepares to Join US-Iran Conflict Over Strait of Hormuz

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is reportedly preparing to join the US in its ongoing conflict with Iran, marking a significant shift in the region. According to Arab officials, the UAE is considering military action to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil trade, after Iran's continued attacks on the UAE and other Gulf states. This would make the UAE the first country from the Persian Gulf to directly enter the conflict. The move follows increasing tensions after US President Donald Trump's recent criticism of Gulf allies for not doing more to support the US's war effort against Iran. Trump had previously stated that securing the Strait of Hormuz was not America's responsibility, urging other nations to step up their involvement. The UAE is reportedly pushing for a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution that would authorize military action against Iran. According to The Wall Street Journal, UAE officials have called on the US, along with military powers in Europe and Asia, to form a coalition to clear the Strait of Hormuz. However, it is anticipated that Russia and China could block the UNSC resolution. Even without UN approval, the UAE is prepared to offer support, including possible involvement in mine clearance operations. The UAE has also suggested that the US take control of islands in the Strait of Hormuz, particularly Abu Musa, which Iran has controlled for decades but is also claimed by the UAE. In response, the UAE's foreign ministry emphasized the importance of preserving freedom of navigation in the Strait and noted the international consensus condemning Iran's actions and the closure of the waterway. This development signals the UAE's willingness to take a more active role in the ongoing tensions in the Gulf, which could significantly impact the region's security dynamics.
