The United Arab Emirates is advocating for the creation of a multinational maritime task force, dubbed the "Hormuz Security Force," to ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE has communicated its willingness to participate in this coalition to its allies, including the United States and other Western nations, and plans to deploy its navy to support the initiative. This move aims to protect the strait from Iranian threats and facilitate the safe passage of shipping. Currently, Bahrain is the only Gulf state backing the UAE's proposal, but efforts are underway to secure support from Saudi Arabia and other international partners. The initiative reflects a broader consensus among some Gulf states and the Trump administration that naval escorts are necessary to maintain open navigation in the strait. The UAE's push comes amid concerns over potential instability in the region, as Gulf states balance their desire for increased pressure on Iran with the need for diplomatic resolutions.
