UAE seeks sustainable security for Gulf states amid Iranian threat
UAE seeks 'sustainable' regional security strategy amid heightened threat from Iran, including the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and threats to regional energy infrastructure.
The United Arab Emirates is pursuing a long‑term, 'sustainable' security framework for Gulf states as tensions rise with Iran. Iran has launched strikes on Israel and on what it claims are US bases and interests in Gulf Arab states, and has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting around 20 percent of global energy supply and driving oil prices sharply higher. Iranian officials have warned that critical infrastructure and energy sites in the region could become legitimate targets if the United States attempts to force open the Strait. The UAE is coordinating with Gulf partners to bolster regional security and deter further escalation.
