## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the United States and Iran are likely to conduct additional limited air or missile strikes against each other’s regional assets, while avoiding direct attacks on major export terminals. Expect further hits on Iranian air-defense, missile, or IRGC logistics nodes and possible Iranian volleys toward US bases in Iraq, Syria, or Jordan, or at Gulf partner facilities. This keeps military pressure high around the Strait of Hormuz without yet crossing into systematic attacks on multiple tankers. Confirmation would include new US strike announcements or credible reporting of Iranian missile/drone launches on US or GCC targets; falsification would be an explicit US or Iranian pause statement coupled with no new kinetic events.

## Drivers

- Recent US 'very heavy' strike on Iran after Iranian missile attack in Jordan
- Confirmed Iranian strike on Saudi-flagged tanker Sidr in Hormuz
- Emerging-trend flags: US–Iran conflict crossing threshold into systemic Hormuz and regional targeting
- Reports of continued Iranian missile activity and US readiness to strike 'anytime'
