As the conflict between the US-Israel alliance and Iran enters its third week, US President 

Donald Trump has warned that NATO allies face a “very bad” future if they do not assist in policing and reopening the 

Strait of Hormuz. The critical oil transit route remains effectively shut by Iran, causing global oil prices to surge by nearly 45%. Meanwhile, drone strikes have caused major fires at 

Dubai International Airport and in 

Fujairah, leading to significant flight suspensions across the UAE.
