## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, US and Iranian-linked sources are likely to reiterate that a Hormuz peace deal or ceasefire framework is largely negotiated, but a formal, public, fully detailed agreement is unlikely to be signed in this window. Both sides will maintain hardline public rhetoric for domestic audiences while quietly managing de-escalation steps at sea and in proxy theaters. Regional Gulf actors will cautiously welcome the reported progress but avoid definitive statements until text is finalized. Contrarian scenario: A surprise joint or trilateral announcement fast-tracks a partial implementation deal, including explicit mechanisms for securing Hormuz shipping lanes.

## Drivers

- Daily brief and emerging trend indicating shift from kinetic spiral to coerced diplomatic endgame with a largely negotiated MoU
- Reports that the Hormuz peace deal is ‘largely negotiated’ though not finalized
- Current US posture of remaining in Washington to manage Iran file and avoid missteps
- Patterns of protracted finalization for complex regional security arrangements
