Today's Lianhe Zaobao reports: "According to Arab sources, the United Arab Emirates is preparing to assist the United States and its allies in using force to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This move means the UAE would become the first Persian Gulf nation to join the war following a potential attack by the U.S. and Israel on Iran."
Commentary: By taking this stance, the UAE aims to safeguard its vital oil export routes, prevent retaliation from Iran, cling tightly to the U.S. for protection, and possibly reclaim islands currently occupied by Iran. However, once it enters the conflict, the UAE will immediately become a primary target for Iran, eliminating any chance for negotiation or de-escalation—directly triggering a full-scale war across the Gulf region.
