## Prediction

Despite reports that U.S.–Israel plans to strike Iranian nuclear infrastructure are being finalized, it is unlikely that a large, visible air campaign will commence in the next 24 hours. Both sides are still engaged in talks, and Washington typically signals such moves more extensively to manage allied and market reactions. Iran’s domestic militarization steps (weapons-handling broadcasts) indicate preparation for conflict but not an imminent exchange of massed strikes. Instead, forces will likely remain at elevated alert with intensified ISR, cyber probing, and contingency deployments.

## Drivers

- Reports that plans are being finalized but conditioned on talks failing
- Iranian TV weapons-handling broadcasts indicating preparation, not current engagement
- No reporting of surge carrier/air asset launches consistent with attack-hour timelines
- U.S. risk of oil shock and regional escalation incentivizing delay for diplomacy
