The United Arab Emirates is reportedly willing to join the US-led effort against Iran and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, marking a major strategic shift. Officials say the UAE is pushing for a UN Security Council resolution to legitimise action, while also preparing to assist even without approval. The move follows continued Iranian attacks on Gulf states and aligns with Donald Trump’s call for allies to take greater responsibility. The UAE could support mine clearance, escort missions, and military operations using its bases and air force. If executed, it would become the first Gulf nation to directly enter the conflict.
