## Prediction

Iranian-aligned militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen are likely to step up low- to medium-intensity rocket and drone harassment of U.S. facilities in the next 24 hours, exploiting demonstrated U.S. munitions strain and political constraints in Washington. U.S. logistics hubs, radar sites, and smaller forward operating bases are at greatest risk, especially where air defenses have been thinned. This will further stress U.S. force protection, increase chances of U.S. casualties, and raise pressure for retaliatory strikes that risk wider regional escalation and miscalculation. Confirmation would be multiple new, geographically dispersed attacks on U.S.-linked facilities; denial would be a quiet 24-hour period combined with credible reports of behind-the-scenes deconfliction.

## Drivers

- Reports of multiple recent Iranian attacks on U.S. positions across the Middle East
- Pentagon admission of serious ammunition shortages driven by war with Iran
- Leaked imagery showing heavy damage to U.S. bases and AWACS in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
- Travel advisory highlighting elevated missile and drone threats to Saudi territory and U.S. assets
