## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, US forces are likely to conduct at least one additional large strike package against Iranian missile, air-defense, and C2 infrastructure, including follow-on hits near Yazd and southern coastal provinces. The campaign will prioritize underground missile bases, logistics nodes, and coastal launch positions to degrade Iran’s long‑range strike capacity. This sustains military pressure but increases the probability of Iranian attempts to target more distant US assets and regional bases. Confirmation would be new CENTCOM or credible OSINT reporting of fresh strikes deep inside Iran; denial would be a publicly signaled operational pause or a full 24‑hour gap in strike reports.

## Drivers

- Seven consecutive nights of US strikes across Iran including deep Yazd targets
- OSINT reports of secondary explosions at suspected underground missile sites
- US naval blockade posture requiring suppression of Iranian missile threat
