What Iran Got Wrong: Five Lessons Tehran Must Lern From The 12-Day War With Israel | World News
New Delhi: Although the 12-day Israeli-Iranian conflict was short, Tehran gave long-term results not only in terms of losses or economic damage, but also in deep strategic exposure. As the missiles were raining and the alliances drowned, Iran found a harsh reality control on multiple fronts. From confidence to global allies to the limits of the missile arsenal, the conflict revealed security vulnerabilities that Tehran could no longer ignore.
Russia’s silence, China
When the Israeli jets began to target the Iranian defense infrastructure, the silence of Moscow and Beijing became deafizing. Despite the past military exercises and diplomatic temperature, neither Russia nor China did more than the statements.
While Russia was affiliated in Ukraine, China chose to appear for the restriction. This was an awakening for Tehran. A strong illusion of support from the great powers led to the fact that Iran could stand alone in a real crisis.
Losing the sky
He proved that air superiority was decisive and destructive. During the opening phase of the conflict, Israel has eliminated over a hundred Iranian air defense system. It was a unilateral air campaign that followed this, the Israeli fighter plane reached targets in Central Iran with a limited resistance.
Iran’s relying on old and imported systems has become a critical weakness. The war has now forced a re -evaluation in the military circles of Tehran – the future demands internal innovation, not imported nostalgia.
Missing Missing Signs
Iran’s missile program was once launched as a regional center of power, and encountered a disturbing test. Hundreds of people were released, but most of them were cut or caused minimum damage. A few people succeeded in skipping Israeli defense systems – especially in Be’er Sheva caused injuries – wider performance was below expectations.
Experts argue that it can push Iran to invest in more advanced systems such as maneuverable war titles and hypersonic capabilities.
Security Violations
Perhaps the most worrying revelation was the scale of Israeli intelligence penetration. Kilit IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists were killed in targeted strikes by asking questions about Iran’s internal security. How MOSSAD can collect such precise information and probably how it can collect the pre -position drones will probably trigger major revisions in Iran’s intelligence organizations.
Tehran struggles with how to secure the most sensitive assets in the age of digital espionage and satellite surveillance.
Support that never emerges
Iran’s regional allies-the “Axis of Resistance” could not change the course of the work. Whether in Lebanon, Hezbollah or Houthis in Yemen, his contributions were limited, scattered or ineffective. Hamas was crippled and Syria did not give an important engagement.
War, Tehran’s encounter with Israel through the deputy networks through the strategy of extinguishing external resources. Rethinking this addiction is no longer optional.
Hundreds of dead, thousands of people were injured and disappeared in billions of infrastructure damage. Important nuclear assets in Natanz were shot, but Fordow remained relatively intact. And still, Iran’s leadership remained in place and the basic command structure survived.
The war did not end Iran’s ambitions, but he reshaped how he could follow them. Analysts believe that the road to forward will require Tehran to focus on domestic defense production, cyber capabilities and diplomatic re -calibration as international sanctions are bored. The cost of complaint has never been so high.
