## Prediction

The latest Iranian IRGC ballistic missile barrage toward US positions in Jordan raises the probability of targeted US or allied counterstrikes on Iranian-linked assets within the next 24 hours. US planners will seek to reestablish deterrence without immediately striking core Iranian territory, focusing on IRGC infrastructure, proxies, or air-defense nodes in Syria, Iraq, or western Iran. Any rapid US response tightens the ladder toward a more direct confrontation, embedding higher risk around US bases and regional airspace and edging closer to energy chokepoint escalation. Confirmation would be Pentagon announcements or credible reports of new US airstrikes; denial would be a conspicuous US choice to limit response to missile defense and diplomatic messaging.

## Drivers

- Multiple overlapping warnings of fresh Iranian missile barrages toward US bases in Jordan
- Recent US strikes inside Iran reportedly killing IRIAF pilots
- CENTCOM theater threat level at HIGH
- Trend of Iran weaponizing regional strikes alongside sanctions pressure
