Hawzah News Agency- Foreign Affairs, in a new analysis of the US-Israeli war against Iran, wrote that despite widespread attacks on thousands of targets, the Iranian government not only remains standing after more than six months but may be stronger than before. The journal, noting the bombing of about a thousand targets on the first day and nearly 12,000 targets over the following 37 days, poses the main question: why did this enormous volume of firepower not lead to Iran's collapse?
Why Did Iran Perform Beyond Expectations?
Foreign Affairs identifies two key factors behind this outcome:
1. Years of Preparation: Tehran had prepared for such attacks for years and designed its governmental structure so that it could be rapidly rebuilt after the killing of senior leaders. This preparation allowed Iran to show high flexibility and resilience against heavy blows.
2. Circumventing the Naval Blockade: Despite the US naval blockade, Iran managed to import part of its needed goods and prevent a complete economic collapse. Together, these two factors allowed Tehran to resist widespread military and economic pressure and even seize the initiative in some areas.
"Mass Precision"; A New Doctrine That Shook the World
Foreign Affairs emphasizes that the world is now learning from Iran, as it previously learned from the Ukraine war. Analysts believe the future of war—at least partly—belongs to "mass precision." This concept refers to a combination of mass production, low cost, and acceptable accuracy that can challenge the superiority of expensive, advanced systems.
Conclusion; America Must Accept "Mass Precision"
Foreign Affairs concludes: if America wants to maintain its military superiority, it has no choice but to accept "mass precision" and must abandon the notion that the Cold War has just ended. According to the journal, the main lesson of the Iran war is that in the new era, the combination of mass production, cheap technology, and targeting accuracy can change the equations of power even in favor of weaker countries. Washington is now mired in a quagmire from which exit requires a fundamental revision of military doctrine and acceptance of the new realities of war.
