UAE wants to force the opening of the Strait of Hormuz

The UAE is lobbying for a UN Security Council resolution to authorize such a military operation, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Emirati diplomats have called on the US, as well as European and Asian nations, to form a coalition to open the strait by force. The Iranian regime believes it is fighting for its very existence and is prepared to drag the global economy down with it by keeping the strait under blockade.

A UAE representative noted that the country is actively exploring options for its military participation in ensuring the security of the strait, particularly efforts to clear mines and provide other support services.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that there is a broad global consensus that freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be preserved.

According to some Arab officials, the UAE is urging the U.S. to occupy islands in this strategic waterway. Specifically, Abu Musa Island, which Iran has held for half a century and to which the Emirates lay claim.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are currently opposed to the Iranian regime and want the war to continue until it is neutralized or overthrown.
