## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Iran’s direct missile and drone launches at Israel are likely to pause while Tehran assesses damage and calibrates response, but IRGC-linked militias in Iraq, Syria, or Yemen may step up low-level rocket or drone harassment. This pattern allows Iran to project continued resistance without exposing homeland infrastructure to immediate further devastation. Limited attacks on northern Israel, the Golan, or Red Sea shipping would raise incident rates without triggering full regional war. Confirmation would be small-scale proxy launches claimed by militias, with official Tehran messaging emphasizing that Iran’s own "operation is over" unless Israel escalates further.

## Drivers

- Iran’s notification via intermediaries that its barrage is finished unless Israel responds
- Existing pattern of IRGC using Iraqi Kurdistan and regional proxies for deniable strikes
- Reports of IRGC strikes in Iraqi Kurdistan concurrent with Israel–Iran exchange
