Speculation of the Lebanese publication about the formation of a joint naval force between Iran and the Arabs.
Arab sources reported that Iran’s negotiator countries have realized that the United States has recently gradually and consciously begun the process of withdrawing from the duties of controlling the maritime security of the Persian Gulf, and that the country’s role has become an observer, and the situation in the Persian Gulf in terms of this Countries are not safe and shipping and the process of transporting goods, especially oil, are under threat.
Lebanon’s “Al-Jadeed” website reported that observers in the Persian Gulf countries believe that Washington’s behavior may lead to instability in the maritime security of the region, hence and due to the daily threats that oil tankers are exposed to. They have decided to hold these negotiations.
This is while the UAE announced yesterday that it has been two months since it withdrew from the Middle East Maritime Coalition, which was formed last year with the presence of some countries in the region and under the leadership of the United States, with the aim of dealing with maritime threats.

And this issue overshadows the security of shipping in the region, and this option will not benefit the coastal residents of the south of the Persian Gulf.
According to this website, last April, the Iranian Navy seized two oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, one of which had left Dubai.
