## Prediction

Expect the US to conduct limited but highly visible strikes on Iranian missile launchers, IRGC coastal facilities, or naval assets near Hormuz and along the Gulf littoral in response to the Jordan base attacks. Targets will likely be framed as proportional and linked to preventing further mining or missile launches, aiming to re-establish deterrence without hitting deep strategic sites. This will put Iranian command, coastal air defenses, and IRGC naval units under immediate threat and force Tehran to choose between another round of retaliation or a pause. Confirmation would be US CENTCOM strike announcements, explosions at known IRGC coastal sites, and NOTAMs/airspace closures around southern Iran and the Gulf; disconfirmation would be a White House pivot to sanctions-only response or public signaling of delayed military action.

## Drivers

- Iranian ballistic and drone strikes on US bases in Jordan and UAE
- Trump’s explicit pledge to 'hit them hard'
- US strikes on Larak Island launchers already underway
- Escalation trend towards reciprocal, time-compressed missile warfare
