## Prediction

Within 7 days of an MoU signing, the ceasefire will sharply reduce the near-term risk of missile and drone strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure and expatriate workers, lowering casualty risk and psychological strain in UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Companies will gradually relax some emergency measures, though not fully, as they reassess medium-term threats under Iran’s enhanced leverage. This will stabilize living conditions for foreign workers and local communities near refineries, ports, and bases. Confirmation would be a clear pause in new attacks, downgraded corporate security alerts, and resumption of non-essential operations; disconfirmation would be continued or renewed strikes on Gulf facilities despite a political agreement.

## Drivers

- UAE cash-for-calm agreement tied to halting Iranian attacks
- Prospective US–Iran war-end MoU ending active hostilities
- Iran’s missile strike on Bahrain ISA Air Base demonstrating what is at stake
- Gulf states’ willingness to pay for de-escalation to protect infrastructure
