Bahrain and UAE Among Several Countries To Contribute Efforts In Securing Hormuz

Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates were among more than 20 countries on Saturday that said they would contribute to efforts to ensure safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz, condemning Iran’s closure of the vital waterway.

“We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces,” said the 22 countries, mostly European.
