Robert Pape outlines three stages: Stage 1 involves tactical success with smart bombs but strategic political failure. Stage 2 focuses on regime change. Stage 3, the most dangerous, involves retaliation approaching the homeland, potentially including nuclear weapon development and global escalation.
The exact location of the enriched uranium is unknown, making it impossible to confirm if it has been dispersed or destroyed. This uncertainty fuels panic and complicates military strategy, as the primary goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The previous Supreme Leader had issued religious edicts (fatwas) against nuclear weapons. His successor, who is known to be more aggressive and lacks the same religious authority, may not adhere to these prohibitions, increasing the likelihood of Iran pursuing nuclear weapons.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital passage for oil tankers. Threats to this waterway by Iran, through drone attacks or other means, can disrupt global oil supply, leading to increased gas prices worldwide and significant economic pressure on nations reliant on oil imports.
The US often achieves tactical success (e.g., hitting targets with bombs), but fails strategically because the underlying political goals are not met. The conflict is not just about military hardware but also about politics, and Iran's adaptive 'matrix'-like regime can withstand direct attacks and retaliate.
