Iran<\/a> has published a detailed concept for war with the United States, describing missile barrages, proxy escalation, cyber operations, and threats to global oil flows, according to the IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The war scenario published by Tasnim begins with US strikes on nuclear and military sites in densely populated areas, followed by a rapid Iranian counter-barrage aimed at US regional bases.<\/p>\n

The document touts hardened underground infrastructure and redundant command networks designed to survive an initial blow and enable sustained retaliation.<\/p>\n

It portrays a saturation strategy where large salvos of ballistic missiles and drones are intended to tax Patriot and THAAD defenses, while Tehran\u2019s \u201caxis of resistance\u201d ignites parallel fronts.<\/p>\n

Under the plan, Hezbollah, Yemen\u2019s Houthis, and Iran<\/a>-aligned Iraqi militias would expand attacks, complicating any US focus on Iran itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The concept echoes recent years of proxy warfare across Lebanon<\/a>, Iraq, Syria, and the Red Sea, where Houthi maritime attacks disrupted shipping and drew international responses.<\/p>\n

Additionally, according to Tasnim, Tehran\u2019s cyber component would target transport, energy, finance, and military communications to disrupt US deployments and pressure host governments.<\/p>\n

Strategic use of Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n

The plan also leans on geography, throttling the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of global oil and gas shipments pass, to jolt markets and fracture support for sustained US action.<\/p>\n

The strategy was framed as asymmetric endurance: not defeating the US outright, but making a prolonged war prohibitively costly.<\/p>\n

The calculation assumes Iran\u2019s<\/a> proxies can coordinate under fire and host states will tolerate escalation on their soil, while also betting Washington will prioritize de-escalation over a grinding regional conflict.<\/p>\n

The plan surfaced this week as US-Iran talks were set for Friday in Muscat, Oman, and after Donald Trump said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should be \u201cvery worried,\u201d raising fears of renewed escalation.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Iran\u2019s chief of staff, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, announced that the country had revised its military doctrine toward an offensive approach after the Israel-Iran war.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans should know that if they start a war this time, it would be a regional war,\u201d Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has published a detailed concept for war with the United States, describing missile barrages, proxy escalation, cyber…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,2895,87,92,6605,47,43,3064,40,38,41,39,1032],"class_list":{"0":"post-276149","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-houthi","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-iran-nuclear","12":"tag-iraq","13":"tag-middle-east","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-spotlight","16":"tag-top-news","17":"tag-top-stories","18":"tag-topnews","19":"tag-topstories","20":"tag-united-states"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
