## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the UN Security Council is highly likely to hold an emergency session on the Hormuz attacks and U.S.–Iran strikes but will fail to adopt a binding resolution due to U.S.–Russia–China divisions. Western members will push for a clear condemnation of Iranian attacks on tankers, while Russia and China will emphasize U.S. escalatory strikes on Iranian territory and sanctions. The meeting will produce strong rhetoric but little operational constraint on either side, leaving regional actors to default to military rather than diplomatic tools. Confirmation would be an announced UNSC meeting that ends with a presidential statement or separate press releases rather than a Chapter VII resolution.

## Drivers

- Multiple tanker attacks and cross-border strikes traditionally trigger UNSC attention
- Current U.S.–Russia–China polarization over Iran and sanctions
- Pattern of gridlock on Syria, Ukraine, and Iran files at the UNSC
- High economic stakes for China and U.S. in Gulf oil flows
