How the call settles
YES if, after a new United States strike occurring after the episode, Iran launches a reported direct or proxy military attack against United States forces or facilities by the end of July 31, 2026; NO if the United States strikes and no such Iranian retaliation occurs by then. If the United States does not strike by then, leave unresolved because the stated sequence was not triggered.
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Iran's IRGC announced it struck US military assets at Kuwait's Ahmad Al-Jaber and Ali Al Salem air bases with kamikaze drones on July 31, 2026, explicitly calling it retaliation for the US strikes on Qeshm island a day earlier.. Applied stored rule: YES if, after a new United States strike occurring after the episode, Iran launches a reported direct or proxy military attack against United States forces or facilities by the end of July 31, 2026; NO if the United States strikes and no such Iranian retaliation occurs by then. If the United States does not strike by then, leave unresolved because the stated sequence was not triggered.

Iran's IRGC announced it struck US military assets at Kuwait's Ahmad Al-Jaber and Ali Al Salem air bases with kamikaze drones on July 31, 2026, explicitly calling it retaliation for the US strikes on Qeshm island a day earlier.
