## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, the US–Iran confrontation is likely to evolve into a sustained pattern of low-to-medium-intensity strikes on infrastructure and proxy assets rather than a short, decisive exchange. The US will selectively hit Iranian military and dual-use nodes, while Iran and its allies respond with missile, drone, and proxy attacks on US bases, Gulf infrastructure, and possibly Israeli targets, calibrated to avoid all-out war. This normalization of infrastructure warfare will entrench higher regional threat levels and complicate any diplomatic off-ramp, while keeping global energy markets under a chronic risk premium. Confirmation would be recurring but geographically contained strikes every few days and continued mediation without comprehensive ceasefire; disconfirmation would be a sudden, large-scale escalation or a formal, verifiable cessation agreement.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of US–Iran confrontation normalizing reciprocal homeland and forward-base strikes
- Trump’s rhetoric about ongoing blockade and possible grid/bridge strikes
- Iran and Hezbollah widening missile strikes while talks still occur
- Historical precedent of Iran–US conflicts stabilizing at proxy and infrastructure levels
