## Prediction

Over the next day, Gulf Cooperation Council states and key European capitals are likely to convene emergency consultations—some public, some behind closed doors—focused on de-escalating Hormuz risks and securing energy flows. The EU’s formal warning on aviation fuel shortages will drive Brussels and major member states to engage Washington, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha on contingency supply measures. Gulf states will publicly condemn attacks near their territory but avoid direct blame that could lock them into escalation. Outcomes will likely include stronger joint statements and initial planning for maritime security task forces, but no immediate public break with U.S. blockade policy.

## Drivers

- EU warning of aviation fuel shortages tied to Middle East conflict
- Explosion near Dubai airport raising Gulf security anxieties
- CENTCOM declaring critical threat posture in the region
- Historical patterns of coordinated diplomatic outreach during Hormuz crises
