## Prediction

Iranian regular and IRGC units are likely to maintain a high military alert posture around the Strait of Hormuz and key air defense nodes for at least the next 24 hours, despite halting direct strikes on Israel. Naval and coastal missile elements will keep targeting radars active and maintain rules of engagement that allow rapid resumption of interdiction of shipping. This posture deters direct Israeli or U.S. strikes but also heightens miscalculation risk for commercial vessels and allied naval patrols already navigating a blockade environment. Confirmation would be persistent airspace closure, continued NOTAMs, and visible IRGC Navy/IRIN presence; denial would be a rapid reopening of airspace and visible stand-down of missile units.

## Drivers

- Iran’s complete halt of flights and airspace closure with no restart date
- IRGC release of advanced missile barrage footage signaling readiness and deterrence messaging
- Declared Iranian linkage of future strikes to developments in Lebanon and Hormuz
