## Prediction

Within seven days, the U.S. is likely to initiate limited strikes against selected Iranian power generation or transmission nodes and key bridges, making good on Trump’s televised threat if Tehran continues missile attacks. These targets will likely be chosen to disrupt IRGC mobility and command-and-control while attempting to avoid total nationwide blackouts. Strategically, this would mark a major escalatory step from military-targeted strikes to pressure on civilian infrastructure, risking widespread outages, economic paralysis, and potential regime-threatening unrest. Confirmation would be U.S. ISR build-up around power and bridge infrastructure, specific target-prep leaks, or explicit “last warning” rhetoric; a verifiable halt or substantial reduction in Iranian missile/drone activity could delay or avert these strikes.

## Drivers

- Repeated Trump statements threatening power plants and bridges "next week"
- Ongoing Iranian missile and drone attacks on U.S. forces and Gulf states
- Structured U.S.–Iran confrontation trending toward broader infrastructure warfare
- Domestic U.S. political incentives to demonstrate resolve
