## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, discrete crises in the Strait of Hormuz, US bases in Jordan and Iraq, and the Russia–Ukraine Black Sea theater are likely to coalesce into a de facto multi-theater 'energy war' where oil, gas, and logistics infrastructure are systematic targets. The US–Iran standoff will keep Gulf installations and shipping under near-constant threat, while Russia and Ukraine continue reciprocal strikes on each other’s ports and refineries. This will compel NATO and key Asian importers to reevaluate force posture and maritime security strategies, potentially triggering new multinational patrols and prepositioning of assets. Confirmation would be recurrent attacks or attempted attacks on energy infrastructure across at least two of these theaters in close temporal proximity; denial would be durable de-escalation in one or more theaters reducing the systemic character of attacks.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend: Widening Iran–Strait of Hormuz conflict risks multi-theater energy crisis
- US–Iran direct confrontation spilling into Jordan and Iraq
- Russian and Ukrainian strikes targeting ports, grids, and energy infrastructure
- CENTCOM and EUCOM both at elevated threat levels with overlapping energy implications
