Meanwhile, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have drawn widespread international criticism. The United Arab Emirates joined 21 other nations in condemning Iran’s recent actions targeting commercial vessels and civilian infrastructure in the Gulf.

The group accused Iran of attempting to disrupt global trade by effectively blocking one of the world’s most important النفط shipping routes. They called on Tehran to immediately halt such actions and comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions governing freedom of navigation.

The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant share of the world’s oil exports, and any disruption has immediate global economic consequences, including rising fuel prices and increased shipping risks.
