The record since

  • 2 Sep 26 No. 64 · revised to 90%
    Iran's declared "decisive operation" on September 1 fired missiles at a US-linked base in Jordan, per Bloomberg/The Hill reporting, directly matching this call's condition within two days of it opening -- treating this as effectively resolving true pending final wire confirmation of the Jordan strike's target and damage.

What would overturn it

A confirmed strike (missile, drone, or mine) against a US or partner military facility reported by wire services within 30 days; 30 days with no further attack flips this false.

The verdict

Hit  Resolved 5 Oct 26.

IRGC fired missiles and drones at US positions in Jordan, Bahrain and Erbil on Sept 2; Jordan intercepted ballistic missiles and Kuwait intercepted drones.

As logged at issue

Likely that Iran or an Iran-aligned proxy conducts at least one more attack on a US or partner-country military site within 30 days (by September 30) — today's direct exchange broke a month-long lull and fits a pattern of repeated escalation over the course of this war, not a one-off; 30 days with no further attack would flip this false.
