Iran’s Long War Strategy and America’s Strategic Dilemma
In my assessment, the trajectory of the current confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel increasingly resembles a prolonged war of attrition rather than a short, decisive campaign. Unlike rapid, technology-dominated conflicts of the late twentieth century, this confrontation appears structured around endurance, asymmetric leverage, and economic pressure. Iran, in particular, seems to have prepared for such a scenario for nearly two decades—militarily, strategically, and ideologically.
