Limited Israeli Follow-On Strikes Inside Iran Likely After Kharg and Airbase Hits
Theater: Iran
Time horizon: 24h

Moderate confidence (65%)
Risk direction: escalatory · Impact: HIGH
Executive summary
Over the next 24 hours, Israel is likely to conduct limited follow-on strikes against additional Iranian air-defense, missile, or drone infrastructure to consolidate the initial barrage’s gains. The targets are expected to remain military or dual-use sites rather than civilian or oil export chokepoints to avoid forcing U.S. opposition. This would further degrade Iran’s regional power-projection while stopping short of a full-scale air campaign, keeping the conflict in a contained but direct Israel–Iran duel. Confirmation would come from new explosions or air-defense activations around pre-identified IRGC bases or radar sites; denial would be a complete cessation of cross-border kinetic activity beyond the initial wave.
