Could the UAE help solve the Strait of Hormuz stalemate caused by
the Iran war?

The US is growing increasingly angry with its allies for refusing
to help fully reopen the blocked waterway, which has led to
soaring oil prices and dire economic warnings. From President
Donald Trump threatening to pull out of Nato (a Telegraph
exclusive) to Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth lambasting the
UK, Washington’s ire is palpable.

Venetia Rainey runs through the latest updates from the Middle
East, including Trump’s claim ahead of his big speech tonight
that Iran has asked for a ceasefire, and a potentially
game-changing report that the UAE is pushing for a coalition to
help reopen the Strait by force.

Plus, Roland Oliphant and senior foreign correspondent Sophia Yan
speak to Iranian-American analyst and author of the Iranist
newsletter, Holly Dagres. She explains why there haven’t been
more protests and how the Islamic Republic is becoming a “zombie
regime”.
