## Prediction

Within 24 hours, the US, likely alongside the UK and at least one Gulf monarchy, is expected to release coordinated statements rejecting Iranian unilateral ‘arrangements’ over Hormuz and reaffirming freedom of navigation. This will be aimed at reassuring shipping and energy markets while signaling that any impediment to transit will be treated as hostile. Such messaging will narrow Washington’s diplomatic room for later concessions but may deter immediate Iranian interdiction attempts. Confirmation would be near‑simultaneous communiqués or press conferences referencing Hormuz; a muted US reaction or focus solely on private demarches would undercut this forecast.

## Drivers

- Iranian parliamentary threat that traffic will move under Iranian terms
- Existing US concern over Oman’s proposed voluntary Hormuz transit fees
- CENTCOM threat level assessed as elevated
