## Prediction

Within 24 hours, at least one Gulf host government (most likely Jordan, Kuwait, or Qatar) will issue a pointed public call for de-escalation and respect for its airspace after intercepting or hosting Iranian and U.S. military activity. This will be framed as defending sovereignty and protecting economic interests, signaling discomfort with becoming a battleground. While not breaking with Washington, such statements will constrain U.S. basing flexibility and raise Tehran’s sense of diplomatic leverage. Confirmation would be foreign ministry communiqués or leader statements criticizing recent strikes; a fully aligned, hawkish front with Washington and silence on airspace violations would weaken this prediction.

## Drivers

- Jordan’s confirmation of intercepting seven missiles and six drones
- Iranian claims of attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Qatar
- Host-nation sensitivity to domestic opinion and economic stability
- Escalation trend toward open state-on-state combat in the Gulf
