Key Findings

All sides in the conflict continue to use bellicose language, suggesting they are prepared for a long war and have unlimited supplies of weapons. However, both the U.S.-Israeli combined forces and Iran will likely face weapon shortages if the war continues for months.
Western desire for immediate rebellion in Iran should be tempered with reality. Iran almost certainly lacks an indigenous opposition movement, as the government has imprisoned, exiled, or killed most dissidents in recent decades, likely leaving no movement or leader for citizens to rally behind.
The combined force operation is likely entering a new phase of combat, with more focus on industrial targets, including missile production facilities. The first phase of operations has very likely neutralized Iran’s air defenses. The next phase will likely be intended to further deplete Iran’s missile and drone stockpiles.
The United States almost certainly assesses the Iranian naval threat is reduced to a point the U.S. Navy can protect the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). However, no shipping company has yet accepted U.S. President Trump’s offer of escort through the SoH, likely indicating a lack of faith in U.S. ability to defend civilian vessels in the region.
