The Financial Times reported, citing sources, that the UAE has informed the US and other Western allies about its participation in a multinational maritime task force to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE is currently attempting to rally dozens of countries to form a Hormuz security force to protect the strait from Iranian attacks and escort vessels.

Previously, several US allies stated that they have no current plans to deploy ships to clear the Strait of Hormuz and have rejected US requests for military support. France has indicated that it has held talks with approximately 35 countries to seek a cooperative solution for an operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but this is contingent on the end of the Iranian conflict.
