The United Arab Emirates has stated that any agreement between the United States and Iran must guarantee passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This vital waterway is critical for global oil supplies.
Anwar Gargash, a UAE official, warned that a failure to curb Iran’s nuclear program and missile threats would lead to a more dangerous Middle East region. He emphasized the importance of addressing these issues in any potential deal.
The UAE has expressed its readiness to join US-led efforts aimed at securing shipping lanes in the region. This commitment underscores the UAE’s concern over maritime security.
Gargash noted that Iran’s actions have driven Gulf states closer to Washington, highlighting a shift in regional alliances amid ongoing tensions.
