Israel–Iran Conflict Stabilizes Into Persistent Low-Grade Strike Regime With Episodic Surges

Moderate confidence (63%)
Risk direction: escalatory · Impact: CRITICAL
Executive summary
Over the next 30 days, the Israel–Iran confrontation is likely to stabilize into a persistent low-grade strike regime featuring sporadic flare-ups, constrained by U.S. and other great-power pressure but without a formal ceasefire. Israel will continue occasional deep strikes on Iranian air-defense and missile infrastructure, while Iran and its proxies maintain intermittent missile and UAV harassment of Israeli territory and maritime assets. This will embed chronic conflict risk into regional planning cycles, with periodic surges around symbolic dates or political events. Confirmation would be ongoing but spaced-out strikes with no comprehensive negotiations; a negotiated de-escalation framework with verifiable limits on missile activity would challenge this forecast.
