How Iran fights an imposed war
AI Summary
According to an academic and senior political analyst, Iran views major conflicts as "imposed wars," forced upon it by external powers. Examples include the Iran-Iraq War, the 2025 Twelve-Day War with Israel and the US, and the current war that began in February 2026. Historically, Iran has avoided direct war due to its high costs and a leadership aversion to unprepared situations. Instead of seeking battlefield victory in the current conflict, Tehran's strategy focuses on raising the regional and global costs of any attempt to overthrow the regime. This approach reflects Iran's preference for managing confrontation through diplomacy, as seen in past negotiations regarding its nuclear program.
