## Prediction

In the coming 24 hours, US and Israeli officials will engage in intensive private and selective public messaging to clarify Israel’s threats to destroy Iranian energy facilities. Washington will likely signal support for Israel’s security while quietly warning against immediate strikes that would devastate global oil supply. Tehran will denounce the threats and may hint at reciprocal attacks on Israeli or Gulf energy assets without committing to imminent action. The net outcome will be heightened rhetorical confrontation and deterrence signaling rather than immediate execution of large-scale strikes.

## Drivers

- Israeli official statements to Channel 12 about destroying Iranian energy within 24 hours in renewed fighting
- Multiple warnings reporting Israel has informed Washington of intent to target Iranian energy in any renewed conflict
- Ongoing US–Iran maritime confrontation and tanker seizures
