## Prediction

Within 24 hours, IRGC naval units are likely to stop, board, or aggressively shadow additional tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz under the pretext of ‘passage violations.’ Commercial crews, Gulf exporters, and Western naval escorts will face heightened risk of miscalculation, particularly during night movements and congested traffic windows. Even without large-scale kinetic damage, repeated disruptions will effectively establish a de facto Iranian inspection regime, raising insurance costs and transit delays. Confirmation would come from at least one more reported interdiction, warning shots, or diversion to an Iranian port; denial would be a clear, incident-free 24-hour period combined with toned‑down IRGC media messaging.

## Drivers

- IRGC-confirmed attacks on ships over alleged Hormuz passage violations
- Multiple recent reports of IRGC blocking tankers around Sirik
- Absence of verified, implemented ceasefire mechanisms despite Trump’s ‘war ended’ claims
