<p><strong>US military surveillance activity</strong> intensified as a drone was deployed from Al Dhafra Air Base, flying along the Iranian border towards the Gulf of Oman. According to <a href="https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/us-navy-mq4c-triton-surveillance-iran-unrest-persian-gulf-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sources</a>, this mission involved intricate maneuvers in response to regional unrest. The report also highlighted the launch of a <a href="https://www.itamilradar.com/2025/07/01/surveillance-activity-over-the-persian-gulf-by-us-navy-drone/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">US C-130J transport plane from Qatar</a>. These actions have drawn <strong>significant attention</strong> among geopolitical analysts.</p>
<p>The <strong>escalation has heightened tensions</strong> in the region, bolstering concerns of potential conflict. The <strong><a href="https://coincu.com/news/kalshi-polymarket-prediction-duopoly/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polymarket platform</a></strong> recorded a <strong>notable increase in odds</strong> for a US military strike on Iran, rising to 70% for an attack prediction before January 31.</p>
