## Prediction

Within 24 hours, at least one P5 member is likely to call for an emergency UN Security Council meeting focused on the US–Iran confrontation and Hormuz shipping risk, but any resolution calling for a ceasefire or end to the blockade will probably be blocked by a US veto or threats of it. The session will serve more as a signaling and blame-assignment arena than a conflict management tool, providing Iran and Russia a stage to highlight civilian and economic risk while Washington stresses Iranian aggression. The deadlock will reinforce perceptions that great-power institutions cannot constrain high-end US–Iran warfare, pushing regional actors to hedge outside UN frameworks. Confirmation would be UNSC convening with draft texts reported as contested; denial would be quiet diplomacy without formal Council action despite escalating strikes.

## Drivers

- US declaration of a new war and maritime blockade on Iran
- Direct threats to the world’s most critical oil chokepoint
- Pattern of UNSC paralysis on prior US and Iran actions
- Global economic stakes in Hormuz transit security
