Are the US and Israel waging a war on Iran’s terms?
What if your enemy could beat you without winning a single battle?
Picture a war where $30,000 drones force million‑dollar intercepts; where a handful of naval drones and fast boats can threaten the global oil supply; and where proxy militias, cyberattacks and disinformation allow a country to strike without ever showing its own flag.
That’s Iran’s playbook: They are making up for their conventional military disadvantage with acts of asymmetric warfare. The result is a situation so chaotic and volatile that it’s hard to predict and much harder to control.
Does Washington know how to respond to a form of warfare designed to drain it slowly? Or has Donald Trump stepped into Iran‘s trap?
