## Prediction

Within 30 days, Israel is likely to reach and maintain peak operational readiness to conduct unilateral deep strikes on Iran’s strategic and nuclear-linked infrastructure, even if political authorization is withheld. Force posture, munitions allocation, and contingency planning will be oriented around a window in which Israel can act largely on its own if it judges US support insufficient. This posture will significantly increase the probability of either a pre-emptive Israeli move or an Iranian attempt to deter it through proxy or missile action. Confirmation would be persistent IAF long-range exercises, prepositioned munitions, and high-level rhetoric about acting alone; denial would be visible de-escalation between Israel and Iran plus renewed explicit US-Israeli coordination.

## Drivers

- Reports that Israel prepares solo strikes on Iran without US backing
- Escalating Iran–US confrontation and Hormuz leverage
- Emerging Mecca Alliance altering regional deterrence calculus
- Israeli doctrine favoring independent action against perceived existential threats
