## Prediction

In the coming 24 hours, the U.S. and key Gulf partners (likely including the UAE and Saudi Arabia) are expected to initiate or publicize emergency consultations on securing shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. This could manifest as a joint statement, calls for a convoy system, or discussions about bolstering existing maritime task forces. The objective will be to reassure markets and shipowners that coalition forces are coordinating responses to Iranian threats. Some Gulf states will calibrate messaging to avoid appearing to endorse an outright war with Iran.

## Drivers

- Multiple U.S.–Iran kinetic incidents directly targeting commercial traffic near Hormuz
- U.S. sanctions on the Persian Gulf Strait Authority highlighting concern over transit management
- Historical pattern of coalition coordination following major Gulf shipping threats
- CENTCOM’s CRITICAL threat level and emphasis on risk to global oil flows
