## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Iran and/or its close proxies are likely to conduct at least one additional missile or large drone attack aimed at Israeli airbases or air-defense infrastructure, building on reported damage to Ramat David. Tehran will seek to maintain coercive leverage and deterrent messaging even if it agrees to a partial Hormuz reopening, separating maritime de-escalation from the broader Israel confrontation. This will push Israel to disperse aircraft, elevate alert levels, and potentially strike deeper into Iranian or IRGC-linked sites in Syria and Iraq, raising the risk of a misstep that drags the US in more directly. Confirmation would be fresh attacks targeting Israeli air infrastructure or adjacent facilities; denial would be a sustained, week-long lull in long-range strikes amid visible diplomatic progress.

## Drivers

- Reports of Iranian missile damage at Ramat David air base
- Trump’s public pressure to reach an Iran deal within days, incentivizing Tehran to hedge
- Emerging trend: Iran–Israel confrontation moving toward managed escalation, not full de-escalation
- Normalization of drone and missile saturation targeting critical infrastructure
