## Prediction

Over 7 days, the accelerated movement of U.S. weapons from Iraq to Jordan will begin to crystallize Jordan’s role as the principal logistics and strike hub for U.S. operations against Iran and its proxies. Amman will face internal and regional pressure as it balances hosting offensive capabilities with domestic political sensitivities and economic dependence on Gulf and Western support. This shift will unsettle Baghdad and Tehran, who will recalibrate their threat perceptions and proxy strategies accordingly. Confirmation would be visible pre‑positioning of U.S. equipment, expanded air operations, or new basing agreements in Jordan; denial would be delays, legal challenges, or a re‑framing of the move as temporary storage.

## Drivers

- Trump order to permanently base pulled US weapons in Jordan as a regional hub
- US long‑war containment posture against Iran
- Jordan’s historical role as a relatively stable pro‑Western platform in the Levant
