## Prediction

Within seven days, Washington is likely to formalize what is currently a de facto coalition into a publicly branded maritime security framework with Gulf and possibly European partners to protect shipping and enforce the Iran oil blockade. This may take the form of joint task force announcements, shared rules of engagement, and expanded basing or overflight agreements, particularly with the UAE, Bahrain, and possibly Saudi Arabia. Such a coalition will deepen Iran’s narrative of encirclement and raise Tehran’s incentives to retaliate asymmetrically via proxies and cyber. Confirmation would be joint communiqués and visible multinational patrols; a backlash from Gulf partners worried about being targeted could slow or dilute this initiative.

## Drivers

- US claims of escorting 200+ tankers through Hormuz
- CENTCOM enforcement strikes on multiple Iran-linked tankers
- Israel’s declaration that it is ready to hit Iran 'with great force'
- Gulf monarchies’ dependence on secure Hormuz flows
