In major strategic move, UAE says it has withdrawn from USA led Persian Gulf maritime coalition.

☆ The announcement has come amid tensions between #UAE and #US about UAE's growing military ties with #China.

☆ US has constantly been "warning" the Emirati government of Chinese military presence in UAE that could 'hinder ties' between US & UAE.

☆ President #Biden invited UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed a year ago, but Bin Zayed has still not visited US due to the political tensions between the two countries.

☆ Instead, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed chose to visit #Russia in October last year.

☆ The visit was considered a move by UAE to seek new allies in the region & get itself out of the American 'camp'.

UAE says it has stopped taking part in U.S.-led Gulf maritime coalition

The United Arab Emirates said on Wednesday it was no longer taking part in operations by a U.S.-led task force protecting Gulf shipping, which has been subjected to renewed tanker seizures by Iranian naval forces in recent weeks.

#Major (unconfirmed) #Breaking #News : Abu Dhabi, one of the Emirates in #UAE haa removed their military cooperation with United States Navy!

The news haa been shared on multiple channels in Farsi and Arabic and Faris but so far I have not been able to find anything in English, French or other European languages.

The News comes as a shock, but maybe related to the disagreement and "shock" revealed in this article just a few weeks ago.

Mohammed Bin Zayed shocked after US billed UAE for military assistance, says report
UAE says it found incident, which happened in 2022 after a drone attack, deeply offensive

I will see if can find more details and verified sources about the news.
