Iran will not conduct a second direct missile or drone strike on Jordanian territory within two weeks of the July 18 Muwaffaq Salti Air Base attack.
The wording, the opening probability, and the counter-signal below were fixed when this call was published. Updates revise the reading — never the record: the verdict is graded against the opening call.
The trajectory
The record since
- 31 Jul 26 Iran fired five missiles at Jordan on July 30, all intercepted -- the exact second direct strike attempt this call bet against, though no casualties resulted.
What would overturn it
A second reported Iranian strike inside Jordan, or explicit new Iranian threats naming Jordan, would overturn this; continued Iranian focus on Gulf targets (Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar) without repeating on Jordan would confirm it.
The verdict
Miss Resolved 3 Aug 26.
Iran fired a second wave of missiles at Jordan on July 30 (five intercepted by Jordanian air defenses, no casualties), squarely within the two-week window — a second reported Iranian strike inside Jordan, overturning the call.
Treating a single high-profile strike as a ceiling rather than an opening move undercounts how a multi-front war spreads fire once a new host has been struck once; a first strike on a new country lowers, not raises, the bar for a repeat.
As logged at issue
Jordan: after Tehran's first direct strike on Jordanian territory since the war began, a second Iranian strike inside Jordan within two weeks is unlikely — the heaviest fire has stayed concentrated on Gulf hosts, and Amman isn't central to Iran's core grievances. A repeat strike on Jordan, or explicit new Iranian threats naming it, would say this call was wrong.
