Will the U.S. carry out one or more direct kinetic strikes on targets in Iran's territory or territorial waters?

🤖 Context

YES if, between September 1, 2026 and no later than September 14, 2026, credible reporting by two or more independent, authoritative news organizations shows that U.S. armed forces directly carried out one or more kinetic strikes, such as airstrikes, missile strikes, artillery strikes, or other explosive ordnance, on targets located within the internationally recognized land territory or territorial waters of Iran. "U.S. armed forces" means actions by U.S. military personnel or forces under U.S. command and excludes strikes by third‑country militaries, non‑state proxies, or U.S.‑supported proxy forces. Defensive interceptions, cyber operations, naval engagements in international waters, and uncorroborated claims do not count. A U.S. Department of Defense statement is preferred but ordinary reporting is sufficient.
