## Prediction

Within the next 24 hours, Iran is likely to launch follow-on missile and drone strikes against Gulf-based energy or US-linked logistics sites, building on confirmed hits in Kuwait and attacks on US bases. Likely targets include fuel storage, port logistics, and possibly smaller terminals in Kuwait, Bahrain, or the UAE to showcase reach while avoiding a direct strike on Saudi core assets. This would deepen operational risk for regional fuel exports and force the US to divert air and naval assets to base protection, slightly reducing strike bandwidth over Iran. Confirmation would be new documented impacts on petroleum storage, port facilities, or US logistics hubs in at least one additional Gulf state; a contrary signal would be Iran publicly framing recent attacks as sufficient retaliation and pausing strikes.

## Drivers

- Recent confirmed Shahed and Arash-2 strikes on Kuwaiti oil storage and a US-linked KGL warehouse
- Iranian leadership renouncing commitments over Hormuz and signaling willingness to widen the battlefield
- Pattern of Iranian retaliatory salvos on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan
- Escalatory US air campaign including strikes on Iranian wheat silos and broad infrastructure
