Is Iran moving from "immediate response after an attack" to "preemptive strike"? ⛓️‍💥 Border of Reality - Tasnim News Agency War Analysis ▪️ The likelihood of a new round of war is high. The experience of the several-month gap between the 12-day war and subsequent clashes shows that periods of cessation do not necessarily mean the end of the crisis. Following a large-scale military operation, the U.S. has likely reviewed its strengths and weaknesses and is designing its next options accordingly, although the timing and form of its next action are not predictably certain. ▪️ At the same time, Iran's response speed to the recent attack on Lark is assessed as a very good sign of reducing the gap between decision and action. Based on this view, Iran should move from the state of "immediate response after an attack" to being prepared to act at the first serious signs of an attack; although such a decision is politically and strategically very difficult. ▪️ Furthermore, if the economic blockade continues, Iran's efforts to break this status will increase. 🎤 Mahdi Bakhtiari, Director of Political Affairs at Tasnim News Agency 🎤 Seyyed Mohammad Taheri, Military Desk Head of Tasnim War Interpretation Group 🎤 Amir Hossein Taghipour, Economic Desk Head of Tasnim War Interpretation Group War Interpretation Border of Reality
