Iran is now focusing on a strategy of endurance and deterrence, aiming to prolong the conflict with the U.S. and Israel rather than seeking a quick victory. This shift is underscored by the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which has heightened tensions and led to significant airstrikes by U.S. and Israeli forces across Iranian cities. In retaliation, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks throughout the Middle East, with military planners emphasizing a multilayered approach to challenge the technological advantages of its adversaries. The use of drones, particularly the cost-effective Shahed drones, presents a significant operational challenge for U.S. and Israeli forces, as intercepting them can be disproportionately expensive compared to their deployment costs.
