## Prediction

The newly signed Islamabad MoU will translate into an observable halt of direct US–Iran and proxy strikes across the Gulf, Iraq–Syria corridor, and Lebanon for at least the next 24 hours. Naval and air operations will shift from combat postures to monitoring and deconfliction, with no verified new cross‑border missile, drone, or airstrikes attributable to either side. This initial quiet will psychologically reset regional actors and traders toward a lower immediate war-risk baseline, encouraging repositioning out of hard safe havens. Confirmation would come from the absence of fresh, attributable kinetic incidents and public statements by US Central Command and the IRGC Navy referencing adherence to the MoU; denial would be any claimed “retaliatory” strike by US or Iranian-aligned forces in the Gulf or Lebanon.

## Drivers

- Digitally signed Islamabad MoU declaring a permanent halt to military operations
- CENTCOM assessment of de-escalation in the U.S.–Iran theater
- Public confirmation that Lebanon fronts are included in the ceasefire
- US domestic political signaling of end to direct combat operations in Gulf
