Fox News anchor Bret Baier engaged in a compelling discussion with Lana Nusseibeh, the UAE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the interview, Nusseibeh emphasized the urgent need to counter Iran’s actions.
“Iran’s aggression towards Gulf allies of the United States, along with Jordan, constitutes an assault on the global community and its economic stability,” Nusseibeh remarked. She highlighted that any attempts by Iran to disrupt the flow of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz pose a dire threat to the worldwide economy.
“Essentially, Iran is aiming to inflict a severe shock on the global economy,” she stated. “We must not permit Iran, a nation known for sponsoring terrorism, to dictate the global prices of essential commodities like food and fuel.” This perspective aligns with President Donald Trump’s initiative to form a coalition. The goal is not due to an inability to respond but because the situation is a global issue, with many nations having more at stake in the Strait of Hormuz than the United States does.

“Effectively, Iran is trying to give the global economy a heart attack,” she said. “We should not allow Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, to set the global price for food and gas.” That’s why President Donald Trump was calling for a coalition. Not because we couldn’t handle it, but because it’s a world concern, and others have much greater interests in the Strait than does the U.S.
