## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Iran and/or US forces are likely to conduct at least one follow-on strike or attempted strike linked to the Jordanian air bases episode—either additional Iranian drones/missiles toward Jordan or proximate US strikes on Iranian assets near Hormuz. US forces in Jordan will raise alert levels and potentially disperse aircraft and critical equipment, while Jordanian air defenses will engage anything approaching its airspace. This deepens Jordan’s role as an active battlespace rather than a passive host, raising the probability of miscalculation or debris-related casualties among Jordanian civilians. Confirmation would include further intercept reports over Jordan, new US strike announcements near Hormuz or Iranian coastal batteries, or verified satellite/imagery of new damage; denial would be a jointly signaled pause by Washington and Tehran and 24 hours with no additional kinetic activity linked to this exchange.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on Jordanian bases hosting US forces
- Jordan’s admission it shot down eight Iranian missiles in its airspace
- Pattern of time-compressed reciprocal strikes around Hormuz identified in emerging trends
- Iran’s public framing of strikes as retaliation for US actions near Larak Island
