A research conducted by the Center for Strategic Studies of Tasnim News Agency, analyzing the content of all reports published by 80 think tanks around the world over the past month about the US-Israeli war against Iran, shows that there is a significant consensus among the experts and analysts of these think tanks about the definitive failure of the US and Israel in achieving their goals against Iran.
The analysis of the content of these think tanks shows 5 important pillars about the Ramadan War (Iran’s defense against US-Israeli aggressors):
- The United States and Israel, due to their technological superiority in military weapons, have been able to deliver blows militarily and "tactically".
- From a "strategic" perspective, Iran has prevented the US and Israel from achieving all the main goals of the war, namely overthrowing the political system, disintegrating or eliminating Iran's defense capabilities, and political-social surrender of Iran.
- Iran has practically gained the upper-hand in the war through a complex and intelligent asymmetric war, through a blow to the military and technological credibility of the other side, as well as by taking over the Strait of Hormuz and the inability of the United States, Israel, and their allies to reopen it militarily.
- After some military strikes by the United States and Israel, as well as smart management and strategic successes by Iran, the war has turned into a war of attrition, but time is in Iran’s favor more than in America and Israel’s favor.
- In order to get out of this war as quickly as possible, the United States and its allies must either achieve a propaganda victory or end the war right now without even that propaganda victory.
