## Prediction

If the US-Iran confrontation remains kinetically active over 30 days, humanitarian needs in frontline and proxy theaters — particularly Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen — are likely to swell due to economic disruption, displacement, and heightened security incidents. Communities near US bases and proxy conflict zones will experience strained health services, intermittent market access, and increased psychological trauma, while Yemen’s already fragile situation risks renewed displacement from contested hubs like Taiz and Hodeidah. Donor fatigue and competing crises will limit the capacity of agencies to scale responses, forcing tough triage decisions. Confirmation would be rising displacement figures, funding shortfalls, and appeals from UN/OCHA for additional resources; denial would be a tangible de-escalation reducing conflict intensity.

## Drivers

- Recent Iranian missile barrages at US positions in Jordan
- Yemen government airstrikes in Taiz and Hodeidah
- Trend of Iran weaponizing regional conflicts under sanctions pressure
- Chronic underfunding of Middle East humanitarian appeals
