## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, the ongoing trend of Middle East frontline blurring will manifest in more explicit coordination between the Houthis and Hezbollah, including parallel or sequenced strikes on Israeli or Gulf energy-related targets to maximize psychological and economic impact. Israel and Gulf states will respond with integrated air-defense deployments and expanded covert action against missile and drone supply chains. This turns energy infrastructure across the Levant and Arabian Peninsula into a unified target set for Iran-aligned groups. Confirmation would be synchronized or claimed joint operations with complementary effects; refutation would be a compartmentalized pattern of attacks without cross-theater linkage.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of regionalisation of Middle East conflicts via Houthis and Hezbollah
- Current Houthi missile strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure and ports
- Escalating US–Iran and Israeli–Iranian confrontation
