## Prediction

Within seven days, a recognizable diplomatic alignment is likely to emerge around the French UN proposal for a neutral Hormuz security framework, with EU members, Japan, and possibly China expressing support in principle, while Iran, Russia, and some Gulf states voice reservations or seek amendments. The U.S. will cautiously back the idea as long as it does not dilute sanctions or legitimize Iranian control mechanisms. Gulf monarchies will push for strong enforcement mechanisms and clear attribution of responsibility for attacks, which Tehran will resist. A contrarian outcome would be stalling at the UN Security Council if an early veto threat emerges from Russia or China.

## Drivers

- Macron’s stated priority to secure unconditional navigation
- Emerging trend of U.S.–China coordination to manage Iran war fallout and markets
- Global dependence on Hormuz for energy trade
- Pattern of crisis-driven multilateral maritime initiatives
