## Prediction

The U.S. is likely to sustain a rolling air and maritime suppression campaign against remaining IRGC naval facilities, radar, and anti-ship missile sites along the Hormozgan and Bushehr coasts over the next day. The operational aim will be to degrade Iran’s ability to fire on shipping or U.S. assets near Hormuz and to pre-empt retaliatory launches. This will increase short-term kinetic intensity while also expanding the destroyed footprint of Iranian coastal infrastructure and potentially driving further Iranian dispersal into civilian zones. Confirmation would be continued reports of strikes from Bandar Abbas to Jask and Sirik, while an abrupt White House or CENTCOM announcement of a pause coupled with reduced strike reports would undercut this forecast.

## Drivers

- Multiple synchronized strike waves from Bushehr to Chabahar and Abu Musa Island
- Declared U.S. goal of curbing Iranian threats to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz
- Ongoing reports of IRGC speedboats and naval assets being targeted
- Trump’s public framing of operations as ongoing retribution for ship attacks
