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

The UAE has withdrawn from the US-led Combined Maritime Forces, a 34-nation task force formed to counter terrorism and piracy in the Red Sea and Gulf areas.
The decision comes after an evaluation of the UAE's security needs and frustration at the perceived lack of US response to recent incidents in the region, including the seizure of two international oil tankers by Iran.
The UAE stated that it remains committed to ensuring navigation safety near its shores in accordance with international law and will continue to advance regional security through dialogue and diplomatic engagement.
