## Prediction

Iran is likely to execute at least one additional limited missile or drone volley against US-linked targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, or nearby Gulf waters within 24 hours, framed as continued retaliation for US strikes on Iranian territory. The targets will probably be military or dual-use logistics assets rather than core oil export terminals, to signal resolve without triggering immediate all‑out war. This will raise force protection pressure on US and Gulf facilities, increase chances of misidentification incidents, and further militarize airspace and sea lanes around Hormuz. Confirmation would be new launches acknowledged by Iran or detected by Gulf states; falsification would be a clear IRGC directive to pause attacks combined with no credible launch reporting.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Iranian missile–drone salvo on US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar
- Iranian leadership vacuum and IRGC incentive to display strength after Khamenei’s death
- Ongoing US strikes on approximately 170 Iranian targets over two days
- Public Iranian framing of attacks as retaliation and defense of sovereignty
