The sound of a great war in the Middle East, UAE can enter the war against Iran, said that the Strait of Hormuz must be kept open.
News India Live, Digital Desk: The ongoing tension in West Asia has now reached a turning point. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has indicated that it may be involved in military action against Iran. This strong statement from UAE is considered very important from the point of view of global oil supply and regional security. UAE has made it clear that any kind of occupation of the world’s energy lifeline i.e. the Strait of Hormuz will not be tolerated. The blockade of Hormuz became the reason for war. Iran had recently threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz. Let us tell you that about 20-30% of the world’s crude oil passes through this narrow sea route. The UAE’s top leadership has said that keeping Hormuz open is not just a regional issue, but an international necessity. If Iran disrupts this path, the UAE will not shy away from entering the war to protect itself and the global economy. UAE’s military preparations and alliancesThe UAE has intensified military patrols on its borders and seashores in the last few days. It is reported that UAE is in constant touch with America, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries on this issue. The UAE believes that Iran’s policy of ‘blackmailing’ is no longer acceptable. According to defense experts, the UAE Air Force and Navy are very capable technically and can play an important role in any conflict. Crisis looms on the global oil market. As soon as the news of this stance of the UAE came, a surge in the prices of crude oil was seen in the global market. Experts say that if the Strait of Hormuz is closed or a war breaks out there, oil prices may cross $150 per barrel. This will have a direct impact on countries like India which are dependent on this route for their energy needs. Donald Trump and American stance US President Donald Trump has supported this tough stance of UAE. The statement issued by the White House said that America stands with its allies and will take every possible step to ensure freedom of navigation in international waters.
