The Wall Street Journal reports that the United Arab Emirates is ready to join a coalition of European and Asian nations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had closed at the war\u2019s start, with the United States seeking NATO backing though some <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >allies remain hesitant<\/a>. The UAE emphasizes the need to preserve freedom of navigation and indicates support for a continued American presence near the strait, including discussions around the control of Abu Musa islands. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain have joined the UAE in pressuring Iran to continue its attacks until security is guaranteed, and a United Nations resolution to form an alliance to reopen the strait was expected to be debated.

The United Arab Emirates is reportedly ready to participate in an international effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump has sought to build a NATO-like coalition to safeguard oil shipments through the strait, but NATO has shown reluctance. The UAE would prefer a coalition of European and Asian powers willing to use force to reopen the strait, which Iran closed at the war\u2019s start.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal quotes an UAE official describing Iran\u2019s stance as one that would \u201cdrag the global economy down with it\u201d by choking Hormuz. The UAE also supports an American presence in the strait and the control of Abu Musa islands, which Iran uses and the UAE also claims. The UAE foreign ministry says there is broad global consensus that freedom of navigation through Hormuz must be preserved. Arab nations have turned against Iran after being attacked and now want its aggression halted to prevent further strikes. Iran has stepped up missile and drone attacks, with about 2,500 missiles launched against the UAE so far. The UAE remains cautious about acting alone, fearing a more aggressive Iran and damage to critical infrastructure and investor confidence. A United Nations resolution to form an alliance to open the strait is expected to be debated soon, and some reports say Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain have joined with the UAE in pressing to continue the pressure on Iran until safety is assured<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2586143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-04-01T110335.393.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50462,57635,43212,66001],"class_list":["post-2586142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-foreign-policy-2","tag-iran-conflict","tag-middle-east-politics","tag-us-ally"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-04-01T110335.393.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2586142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2586146,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586142\/revisions\/2586146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2586143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2586142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2586142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2586142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
