## Prediction

An emergency UN Security Council meeting on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is likely within 24 hours, yielding strong verbal condemnation of both Iranian closure and US blockade enforcement but no actionable resolution due to US–Russia–China divisions. Gulf states and major importers like India, Japan, and EU members will use the forum to signal alarm about energy security and demand restraint, but any call for ceasefire or maritime protection mission will remain non-binding. This will expose the limits of multilateral crisis management and reinforce perceptions that regional security will be decided by force rather than diplomacy. Confirmation would be UNSC convening with a failed or watered-down draft resolution; denial would involve Russia, China, and the US unexpectedly converging on a robust maritime stabilization mandate.

## Drivers

- Total declared closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran
- US kinetic enforcement of an oil blockade and disabling multiple tankers
- Historical pattern of UNSC gridlock in US–Iran crises
- High global dependence on Gulf energy flows
