## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, continuous U.S. strikes across multiple Iranian provinces will begin to manifest as broader civilian infrastructure degradation, especially in power, communications, and transport networks that share proximity with military targets. Hospitals and clinics in affected regions like Khuzestan and Hormozgan will struggle with casualty influx, supply shortages, and intermittent power or communications outages. The cumulative stress will raise the risk of localized public health crises and drive internal displacement away from repeatedly targeted areas. A negotiated pause or strict retargeting toward isolated military sites would reduce these pressures.

## Drivers

- 13 consecutive nights of U.S. strikes across Iranian command, drone, and communications sites
- Targeting of telecom regulator facilities and sites near key ports
- Expansion of attacks into multiple regions including Yazd, Ahvaz, Jask, Suza, and Khandab
- Emerging trend of region-wide Iran–US–Israel strike-and-counterstrike campaign
