## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Iranian IRGC units are likely to conduct limited coastal missile tests, UAV overflights, or close approaches to US and allied naval assets around the Strait of Hormuz rather than direct ship strikes. The aim will be to reassert Tehran’s claimed control of the strait and respond to the latest US strikes at Taherviyeh pier and other coastal sites without triggering full-scale war. This will heighten miscalculation risk for USN escorts, GCC navies, and commercial tankers transiting the choke point, potentially forcing temporary routing delays or escorted convoys. Confirmation would be radar- or AIS-linked reports of Iranian fast-boat swarms, UAVs, or anti-ship missile illumination near US vessels; denial would be a visible pause in IRGC activity coupled with de-escalatory public messaging.

## Drivers

- IRGC public claim of strikes on US positions following US attacks near Hormuz
- Fresh US explosions reported at Taherviyeh pier in Sirik, Iran
- Senior Iranian figure warning that Iran ‘controls’ the Strait and will ‘teach’ rules
- Emerging trend: US–Iran strikes around Hormuz normalizing coercive signaling under ceasefire
