24-Hour AI Outlook
Expect intense US and Israeli airstrikes to continue targeting Iranian command and control nodes as Washington attempts to force Tehran into a ceasefire within the 3-week window. Iran will likely escalate asymmetric attacks on US tech firms (Nvidia, Apple, Google) and Gulf energy infrastructure to maximize economic pain before any negotiated settlement. Watch for potential UK-led naval maneuvers near the Strait of Hormuz.
