But UN approval could offer a measure of diplomatic support to Gulf nations if they decided to get involved in military operations or a naval task force to help free up the strait from Iranian control or police the waterway once the conflict is over.\n\nOn Thursday, the UK will chair a virtual meeting with foreign ministers from around 35 countries including the UAE, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan to discuss a plan to restore freedom of navigation in the strait. The US is not due to attend.\nThe countries convened by Britain will cover three tracks: diplomatic, economic and military, according to people familiar with the matter, who were granted anonymity discussing information that has not been made public.\nThe focus for now will be on the diplomatic track, coordinating efforts fronted by nations with channels into Tehran, the people said. Should that prove unsuccessful, the coalition would consider economic measures targeting Iran’s oil and shipping industries, they added.\nThe UAE and Saudi Arabia have considered joining the US and Israeli war as Iran continues to strike major energy facilities and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, Bloomberg has previously reported. The strait’s effective closure as a result of Iranian threats has caused global oil and gas prices to soar, piling pressure on President Donald Trump to end the conflict.\n“It’s very important for a lot of countries, even in this sort of very turbulent time, to at least have the sort of shield of UN authority for engaging in the use of force,” said Richard Gowan, an expert on the UN at the International Crisis Group.\nSo far, the UAE is the only Gulf Arab country that has said it will join a naval force to try to reopen Hormuz or provide escorts of commercial vessels.\nLast month, the Security Council denounced Iran’s attacks on its Gulf neighbours and called on the Islamic Republic to halt strikes and to allow freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas exports normally flow.\nBahrain, which is currently serving as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, is working on a new resolution to give a mandate to a naval task force to reopen the strait.\nThe UN Security Council uses Chapter Seven for a number of activities, including letting peacemakers use force to protect civilians, Gowan explained. But it is also a way for countries to deploy military force with the UN’s blessing. \nFormer US presidents have previously waited for UN authorisation under Chapter Seven before launching military actions, or alluded to the rule to justify combat operations. \nUploaded by Evelyn Chan","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
