## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, US and coalition navies will accelerate the pullback of major combatants from the Persian Gulf into the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea under the new Hormuz management regime. This posture shift will be publicly framed as risk reduction but will be viewed regionally as tacit recognition of Iran’s expanded control over inner-Gulf security. Gulf monarchies will quietly reassess their reliance on US hard security guarantees and start messaging about ‘regional solutions’ involving Iran. Confirmation would be additional announced ship movements and base access changes; denial would be a pause or partial reversal in redeployments following political backlash in Washington or allied capitals.

## Drivers

- CENTCOM reporting US and coalition ships relocate bases out of the Persian Gulf
- FLASH alerts confirming US–Iran MoU takes effect and reopens Hormuz
- New shipping rules restricting US-linked and Israeli vessels and pulling US warships out of the Gulf
- Emerging trend of Islamabad MoU reshaping Gulf security architecture
