## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, the US, likely supported by the UK and some EU states, is poised to roll out new or expanded sanctions targeting Iran’s oil exports, shipping networks, and missile/drone procurement chains in response to ballistic strikes on US forces and attacks on Gulf bases. While Iran already operates under heavy sanctions, tighter enforcement, secondary sanctions on intermediaries, and designations of additional front companies could meaningfully constrain marginal exports and raise transaction costs. This will push more Iranian trade into opaque channels, deepen Tehran’s economic dependence on China, and further entrench hardline factions skeptical of diplomacy. Confirmation would be new OFAC designations and coordinated announcements; denial would be a deliberate decision to freeze sanctions measures as part of a de-escalation package.

## Drivers

- Open Iranian missile and drone attacks on US and allied bases
- US domestic political imperatives to respond beyond kinetic actions
- Existing US toolkit and pattern of sanctions escalation
- European concern about missiles and regional destabilization
