## Prediction

Iran is likely to conduct at least one additional wave of drone and/or missile attacks on U.S. and allied bases in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, or Jordan in the next 24 hours. The operational goal will be to demonstrate continued strike capacity despite U.S. attacks on Iranian coastal infrastructure and to pressure host governments. U.S. forces will increase air defense readiness and may attempt rapid counter-battery or strike packages against Iranian launch sites, raising miscalculation risks. Confirmation would be fresh impact reports or interceptions at Gulf or Levant bases; disconfirmation would be a verifiable halt in launches coupled with public Iranian messaging emphasizing ‘completion’ of the response.

## Drivers

- Reports of active Iranian strikes on U.S. positions across Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, and Jordan
- IRGC claims of destroying U.S.-linked radars in Kuwait and damaging Tower 22 in Jordan
- Iranian top command warning that it will hit all U.S. and allied interests if key sites are struck
- US–Iran confrontation assessed as crystallizing into sustained limited war across Gulf theater
