ABU DHABI: United Arab Emirates has indicated it may join a US-led international effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz, following an appeal by Donald Trump amid rising regional tensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks were made by Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, during an online event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concern over maritime security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gargash expressed concern over escalating tensions in the Gulf and growing threats to maritime navigation, saying the security of the Strait of Hormuz had become a critical global issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the UAE could consider participating in a multinational naval initiative if launched under US leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No direct talks with Iran<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UAE official said there were currently no direct negotiations taking place between the UAE and Iran at any level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed the importance of maintaining regional stability and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of global trade during the ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key global oil route under threat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world\u2019s most vital waterways, through which a significant portion of global oil supplies is transported. Most Gulf oil-exporting countries rely heavily on this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran has restricted access to the passage in response to strikes by the United States and Israel, with reports of threats to commercial shipping increasing concerns worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited global response so far<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, President Trump had urged NATO allies to deploy naval forces to help secure the waterway, but no country has yet formally committed to the initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
