## Prediction

Within seven days, the EU is likely to codify expanded sanctions on Iran that go beyond navigation rhetoric to target energy-adjacent sectors, shipping entities, and missile-related supply chains. Measures may include asset freezes, port access restrictions, and stepped-up enforcement against ship-to-ship transfers and sanctions evasion involving Russian and Iranian crude. This will deepen Tehran’s isolation from European finance and logistics while nudging Iran further toward Russia and China, potentially shrinking transparent supply but sustaining under-the-radar flows. Confirmation would be publication of a new EU sanctions package specifying additional Iranian entities and tighter maritime measures; major EU divisions blocking energy-related designations would dilute the impact.

## Drivers

- EU moves to sanction Tehran over navigation threats and authorize seizures of Russian oil tankers
- Escalating Iranian missile and proxy activity in the region
- EU trend toward structured long-term security and sanctions frameworks in response to aggression
