## Prediction

Over the next seven days, the pattern of infrastructure targeting—US strikes on Iranian water systems and Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities—will heighten civilian hardship and trigger localized unrest or sabotage attempts in affected regions. Populations experiencing blackouts, fuel shortages, or water cuts are likely to protest against both external attackers and their own governments’ inability to protect critical systems. Governments may respond with repression, further eroding legitimacy and fueling cycles of radicalization that shape future conflict. Confirmation would be protests or labor actions at refineries, power plants, or utilities; disconfirmation would be rapid repairs and visible compensation measures dampening public anger.

## Drivers

- US strike destroying Iranian water reservoirs
- Repeated Ukrainian hits on Russian refineries and oil infrastructure
- Emerging trend of hybridized warfare targeting civilian infrastructure
- Existing civil disturbances reported in multiple theaters
