Open interstate warfare between the US/Israel coalition and Iran is already underway, with thousands of targets struck and the campaign expected to last weeks. A further cycle of US strikes on Iranian military and energy targets, coupled with Iranian retaliatory attacks on US forces or regional assets, is the overwhelmingly likely near-term trajectory.
Synthesis:
The US-Iran war dominates today's outlook, driving cascading forecasts across military escalation, Iranian information control, American domestic protest, and European monetary policy — while Gulf energy disruptions highlight long-term cyber vulnerabilities in Asia's LNG supply chains.
