## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, at least one additional missile or drone attack against shipping or port-linked infrastructure in the Red Sea–Gulf of Aden–Gulf of Oman arc is likely as follow-on action to the Jebel Ali and Daisy tanker strikes. Commercial vessels transiting near Yemen and key UAE/Saudi ports will face heightened immediate risk of damage, detours, or port call cancellations. Strategically, renewed attacks will undermine confidence in U.S. protection guarantees, drive up war-risk surcharges, and embolden Iran-aligned groups to treat maritime assets as routine leverage. Confirmation would be new claimed launches or impact reports on AIS-tracked shipping lanes; denial would be an observable lull combined with public de-escalatory messaging from Sanaa and Tehran.

## Drivers

- Recent Houthi missile strikes on tanker Daisy in Gulf of Aden
- Missile attack reports on Jebel Ali port from Yemen
- Escalatory trend in Red Sea and Hormuz crisis
- Iran’s explicit threats to target Gulf energy infrastructure
