The United Arab Emirates has joined Bahrain in calling for urgent action by the United Nations Security Council over rising concerns in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the situation now poses a serious threat to global stability.

In a strong statement, Bahrain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, stressed that the issue has escalated beyond a regional concern and now directly impacts international security, global food and energy supplies, and the rule of international law.

He cautioned that continued inaction could push the world closer to a wider crisis, with developing nations expected to bear the most severe consequences.

The UAE expressed its full support for Bahrain’s diplomatic efforts at the Security Council, highlighting the Kingdom’s leadership in advancing a resolution aimed at addressing the growing risks in the vital maritime corridor.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, remains central to international trade, particularly for oil and gas supplies. Any disruption in the area is seen as a potential trigger for widespread economic and geopolitical instability.

The UAE also extended its appreciation to Bahrain for spearheading diplomatic initiatives and mobilizing international attention toward the urgency of the issue.
