The UAE's 500K+ bpd output hike following its OPEC exit injects supply slack that blunts Iran's coercive Hormuz leverage and reinforces a structural oil price ceiling, even as Gulf tensions remain elevated.

UAE OPEC exit + production hike → erodes Iran's marginal pricing power → caps oil shock from Hormuz disruption → enables Gulf de-escalation pricing dynamics
