No US ground operation or sustained (>7 consecutive days) strike campaign on Iranian territory through Aug 15

Confidence: 0.70Lens: militaryTimeframe: 2026-08-15

Reasoning

For: symmetric rung-spending in the July 7-9 exchange (US 80 targets vs IRGC 85, mirroring the June 9 spike); oil at ~$76 not $115; US confined to naval/air standoff (no basing, no ground) - which also sidesteps the Saudi/Kuwait airspace denial; Trump kept the 'negotiations might continue' re-entry ramp; the two-track fiction has absorbed every strike since May. Against: Trump declared the MoU 'over' more definitively than prior TACO folds; IRGC keeps hitting ships; Israel could resume Iran strikes and drag the US in; the deal's death removes restraint scaffolding. Board-state read: this is punitive interdiction to force Iran back to the MoU, not Phase 2.
