## Prediction

Within 30 days, assuming a framework is formalized, the US–Iran Hormuz agreement is likely to enter an initial implementation phase, including verifiable steps to secure shipping lanes and a partial, phased restoration or regularization of Iranian crude and condensate exports. The accord will probably be fragile, with periodic challenges from hardline factions and proxy actors, but will broadly reduce immediate war risk in the Gulf. Gulf states will seek to shape enforcement mechanisms and monitoring to protect their security and economic interests. Contrarian scenario: The agreement collapses under domestic political pressure or compliance disputes, leading to renewed attacks on shipping or energy infrastructure.

## Drivers

- Emerging and escalation trends indicating a shift from open conflict to brinkmanship under a Hormuz-control framework
- Reports that a peace deal to reopen Hormuz is largely negotiated
- High economic incentives for sanction relief and export normalization for Iran
- US interest in stabilizing energy markets ahead of domestic political timelines
