Immediate / 24–72 hours, with near-term continuity effects.

90.2/100, down 2.2 from 92.4.

The score fell 2.2 points because no new escalation exceeded the prior day’s peak and diplomacy remains active. The reduction is modest: there is still no mutually accepted ceasefire, durable maritime-security arrangement, or verified nuclear de-escalation.

Reciprocal strikes, failed mutual recognition of the ceasefire, nuclear disagreement, and maritime coercion create a clear escalation chain.

Reciprocal strikes, failed mutual recognition of the ceasefire, nuclear disagreement, and maritime coercion create a clear escalation chain. If diplomacy fails or another strike occurs, military and commercial pressure can widen quickly through the Gulf.

Attribution and negotiating intent remain adversarial.

Near-term / 7–30 days, with strategic extension where drivers persist.

69.6/100, down 4.7 from 74.3.

The score fell 4.7 points because no follow-on deployment, warhead loading, or alert-posture change was confirmed. The test remains strategically relevant as a capability and signaling event.

A strategic missile test can alter deterrence calculations, readiness assumptions, and crisis signaling even without a confirmed alert change. Misinterpretation or follow-on deployment could raise regional military risk.

A strategic missile test can alter deterrence calculations, readiness assumptions, and crisis signaling even without a confirmed alert change. Misinterpretation or follow-on deployment could raise regional military risk.
