Trail
Connection thesis
Trump's explicit statement that he is 'close' to ordering a massive attack on Iran, combined with active strike operations and Houthi escalation targeting Saudi shipping, creates credible near-term pressure to expand operations directly against Iran rather than proxy targets.

The United States will conduct at least one new declared military strike against Iran or Iranian-linked targets (not solely Houthi targets in Yemen) within the next 7 days, as announced by the U.S. government or confirmed by named officials.
