## Prediction

Within 24 hours, US forces are likely to conduct additional precision strikes on Iranian coastal, naval, and air-defense targets along the Gulf of Oman and southern Iran. The objective will be to further degrade Iran’s capacity to threaten tankers near Hormuz and Jask while signaling resolve after the Aqabah missile strike and tanker fire. Regional militaries, especially in the GCC, will move to higher alert and may quietly support targeting and logistics. Confirmation would come via CENTCOM strike releases, new damage imagery near coastal radar and SAM sites, and temporary airspace/sea-lane closures; de-escalation would be indicated by a public pause or shift to purely defensive posturing.

## Drivers

- 12th consecutive night of US strikes across Iran
- Fresh reports of US hits on Bushehr, Kermanshah, and Shalamcheh
- Explosions at Jask naval base after earlier US strikes
- Iranian missiles on Jordan and tanker incident in Hormuz raising urgency to suppress threats
