**US military operations in 2026 have centered on major strikes against Iran and Venezuela alongside expanded counterterrorism and counternarcotics efforts.** Coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear, missile, and leadership targets began in late February and resumed after a brief truce collapsed in July, while the January raid in Caracas that captured Nicolás Maduro marked direct action against Venezuela. These high-profile campaigns, combined with ongoing airstrikes and raids targeting militants in Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Yemen (Houthis), and Nigeria, plus vessel interdictions in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific tied to drug networks, have already produced a core set of distinct countries. Trader pricing at 8 (61.9%) and 9 (32.1%) reflects the view that these established theaters will account for most of the year’s total, with only modest additional countries likely before December absent major new escalations. Renewed Iran-related activity in July has not yet broadened the geographic scope significantly, and no large-scale new interventions have materialized in the third quarter. Historical patterns of US operations—concentrated in the Middle East, Horn of Africa, and select Latin American counternarcotics zones—support expectations that the total will remain in the single digits rather than expanding rapidly.
