The alliance was set up to protect the interests of its members and their merchant ships when passing through maritime corridors, the Emirates News Agency explains. Its area of operation covers the Strait of Hormuz, Bab Al Mandab, the Sea of Oman and the Arabian Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. has maintained a position of defending freedom of navigation in international waters. In mid-June, a Norwegian and a Japanese tanker were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2019\/06\/14\/us-says-iran-removed-unexploded-mine-from-oil-tanker\/\" target=_blank>U.S. blames Iran<\/a> for both events. Iran denied involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If the Iranians come after U.S. citizens, U.S. assets or U.S. military, we reserve the right to respond with a military action. They need to know that, it needs to be very clear,\u201d U.S. Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2019\/06\/18\/dont-expect-the-us-to-secure-arabian-gulf-shipping-alone-top-general-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">at a roundtable<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Selva also called for an international response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think there is a military role in defending freedom of navigation,\u201d he said. \u201cThe question will be to what extent the international community is behind that effort.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UAE joins four
