US EditionUAE could join international effort led by US to secure Strait of Hormuz, says adviser
The UAE's potential participation comes amid ongoing regional conflict and global reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20% of traded oil, officials said.
- On Tuesday, The United Arab Emirates signaled potential participation in a United States-led maritime security mission to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz, with Emirati diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash confirming discussions are underway.
- Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, escalating conflict with the United States and Israel, as Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei declared Tehran intends to keep the waterway closed.
- President Donald Trump stated Sunday he demanded seven unnamed nations contribute naval forces; many European Union members have declined to participate, complicating coalition efforts.
- Gargash emphasized that "big countries" in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe share responsibility for maintaining maritime security and must prevent Tehran from using missile or drone capabilities to terrorize the region.
- Roughly one-fifth of global traded oil typically moves through the passage, making security critical; however, limited international support leaves the stabilization of energy supplies and freight costs uncertain despite potential UAE involvement.
