## Prediction

Within a week, Iran and aligned militias are likely to conduct a pattern of coordinated, though still limited, operations across Yemen, Iraq, and potentially the Gulf maritime domain to test the new Saudi–Türkiye–Pakistan defense axis. Expect a mix of missile/drone strikes on Saudi-backed positions in Yemen, rocket or IED attacks near U.S. or Saudi-linked sites in Iraq, and harassment of commercial vessels flagged to coalition states. The goal will be to demonstrate Iran’s ability to impose costs without triggering outright war, while probing air-defense seams and political red lines. Confirmation would be temporally clustered incidents across at least two theaters with messaging linking them to opposition against the new pact and U.S. strikes; denial would be a sustained diplomatic track between Riyadh and Tehran that dampens militia activity.

## Drivers

- Saudi intelligence warning of coordinated IRGC–Houthi–Iraqi militia attacks
- Fresh Houthi escalation and Iranian threats against energy and water infrastructure
- Formation of Saudi–Türkiye–Pakistan defense pact encircling Iran’s maritime periphery
- CENTCOM threat level assessment as CRITICAL
