## Prediction

In the next seven days, Jordan and Kuwait are likely to experience noticeable strain on local health systems near U.S. bases as repeated missile and drone incidents generate casualties among military personnel and potentially nearby civilians. Local hospitals will divert resources to trauma care and contingency planning, delaying routine services and exacerbating existing staffing and resource gaps. Governments may quietly request U.S. or allied medical support and consider relocating non-critical care away from high-risk zones. Confirmation would be reports of capacity stress, additional field hospitals, or international medical deployments; a sudden de-escalation in attacks would mitigate these pressures.

## Drivers

- Iranian ballistic and drone hits on US bases in Jordan and near Kuwaiti airspace
- Public reports of US soldiers injured in Jordan strikes
- Host-nation responsibility for initial medical response to incidents on their soil
- Limited surge capacity in some regional health systems
