## Prediction

Iranian forces are likely to attempt at least one additional limited missile or UAV probe against UAE or Kuwaiti air infrastructure linked to prior strikes on Iranian territory within 24 hours. The objective will be to show ongoing reach and deterrence, not to destroy entire bases, keeping damage mostly localized to hangars or aprons. This will stress Gulf air-defense and scramble cycles, complicating coalition strike planning and commercial aviation risk assessments. Confirmation would be claimed or detected launches toward Al Safran or other known hubs; denial would be an observable pause in Iranian long-range fires despite intense rhetoric.

## Drivers

- Recent Iranian strikes on UAE Al Safran Air Base and a US-used Kuwaiti base
- Continuing US defensive strikes on Iranian radar and drone C2 sites
- Emerging pattern of reciprocal yet bounded US–Iran kinetic exchanges
- Iranian signaling around defending its territory and retaliation doctrine
