## Prediction

Within 30 days, the combined pressures of the Hormuz crisis, Iranian attacks or threats against the UAE, and ongoing proxy activity will likely crystallize into a tighter, though not formally declared, anti-Iran coalition linking the US, Israel, UAE, and several European partners. This will manifest through more integrated intelligence-sharing, coordinated sanctions measures, joint naval and air exercises, and possibly shared missile-defense initiatives. Public framing may remain focused on 'maritime security' and 'regional stability' to accommodate divergent domestic audiences. Iran will respond by deepening ties with Russia and China but with limited short-term ability to offset economic and military pressure. Contrarian outcome: a significant de-escalation or leadership change in one key participant weakens coalition momentum.

## Drivers

- US–UAE–Israel coordination on Iran strikes and Hormuz defense 'dome'
- Iran’s attacks or attempted attacks on UAE and shipping
- US secondary sanctions rhetoric
- European security perceptions of Gulf instability
