Executive summary
Within 7 days, the US is likely to execute additional limited but high-precision strikes against Iranian missile launchers, UAV stockpiles, or IRGC naval facilities around Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Jask, or Sirik if evidence emerges that Iran is preparing follow-on barrages. The aim will be to restore deterrence by degrading specific capabilities without hitting Iranian cities or large troop formations. Iran will respond by dispersing assets, using hardened sites, and increasing harassment of US naval vessels, sustaining a low-to-mid intensity conflict around Hormuz. Confirmation would be new CENTCOM strike announcements and imagery of destroyed launch or naval facilities; a rapid move to formal ceasefire arrangements or third-party mediation would dampen this…
