UAE denies report claiming it wants to join war to open Strait of Hormuz

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday rejected a report that it wants to enter the ongoing conflict in the Middle East to force open the Strait of Hormuz.

“Recent reporting suggesting a shift in the UAE’s posture is misleading. The UAE maintains a defensive posture focused on protecting its sovereignty, its people, and its infrastructure, and reserves its right to self-defense in response to ongoing unlawful and unprovoked attacks," an official said in a statement, according to NBC News.
