## Prediction

Within 7 days, G7 states are likely to coordinate new or expanded sanctions designations and tough rhetoric over Iran’s inspector expulsions while carefully avoiding explicit military red lines. The moves will aim to reassert nonproliferation norms and reassure Israel and Gulf partners without collapsing fragile de-escalation channels around the Iran war theater. Financial and shipping networks dealing with Iran will face higher due-diligence and compliance costs, and Tehran may respond with symbolic escalations such as missile tests or limited drone harassment rather than direct oil disruption. Confirmation would be joint G7 statements, new SDN listings, and IAEA Board resolutions; denial would be rapid Iranian compromise or deep splits within the G7.

## Drivers

- IAEA report of near-total access denial
- Emerging trend of U.S.–Iran confrontation shifting to coercive negotiation
- US domestic constraints on major new wars
