## Prediction

Within 24 hours, at least one serious air-defense or radar misidentification incident involving U.S. and Iranian (or Iran-aligned) forces is likely in or near Jordanian and Gulf airspace, though not necessarily resulting in casualties. Conflicting reports of U.S. strikes in southern Iran alongside confirmed missile launches and U.S. aircraft over Jordan create a fog-of-war environment where commanders may overreact to ambiguous radar tracks. This primarily threatens U.S. and coalition aircraft, Iranian air assets, and nearby commercial aviation corridors, increasing the chance of a near-engagement or warning shots. Confirmation would be NOTAMs, rerouting of civil flights, or official acknowledgement of intercepts/near-shootdowns; denial would be explicit joint deconfliction announcements and stable civilian flight paths.

## Drivers

- Conflicting OSINT about U.S. strikes in southern Iran and Iranian missile launches
- Reports of U.S. aircraft over Jordan amid missile alerts
- CENTCOM assessment of high threat with active kinetic operations
- Public U.S.–Iran confrontation and tanker warfare rhetoric
