## Prediction

Within 7 days, additional Iranian strikes or sabotage attempts in Iraqi Kurdistan are likely as Tehran seeks to punish perceived collaborators and signal reach, increasing risk around Kurdish-region energy infrastructure and logistics nodes. While direct hits on major oilfields or export pipelines are not certain, repeated nearby explosions will prompt partial shutdowns, security upgrades, and insurance re-pricing. Kurdish authorities may be forced to restrict movements around key facilities, slowing operations and trade. Confirmation would be further IRGC missile or drone strikes in Sulaymaniyah/Erbil environs or credible reports of plots against energy assets.

## Drivers

- Current IRGC attacks on Kurdish group HQs and targets near Sulaymaniyah
- Iran’s established pattern of striking Kurdish opposition in northern Iraq
- Escalating Iran–Israel dynamic incentivizing Tehran to close perceived Israeli basing or intel nodes
