#NEW The UAE is preparing to support efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force and is reviewing how it could take part militarily, Arab officials told The WSJ
/100
The article reports that the UAE is reviewing how it could participate militarily to support US-led efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, per Arab officials to the WSJ. Given existing Houthi attacks on shipping, Iranian threats against Gulf infrastructure, and a de facto closure of the strait, Abu Dhabi's shift toward potential direct military involvement materially raises the risk of a broader regional confrontation and disruption to global energy and trade flows.
