Asymmetric Warfare and Iran’s Restored Capability
Satellite images show that Iran has already cleared the bunkers, silos, and launch pads at these sites in just over 48 hours after the ceasefire.
I believe this means they have quickly regained the ability to launch hundreds of missiles per day, at a moment when the coalition’s stock of interceptors is running low.
And this is a major problem for the coalition, because in the first 48 hours fo war alone, they launched more than 700 missiles and nearly 1,000 drones.
I know Netanyahu and Trump really wanted to win this war, but have they truly understood the kind of war they are fighting?
This conflict teaches us a great deal about modern and asymmetric warfare.
In conventional war, if a force loses control of the skies, it usually means the destruction of its equipment and military structures, stripping the army of its ability to react.
Everything becomes vulnerable, from barracks to small checkpoints.
But asymmetric warfare is different. You prepare for a conflict in which you will be heavily bombed and must respond with resilience and gradual deployment, turning the war into a long, exhausting, and attritional struggle.
The key point is that the entire structure must be protected in underground bunkers or very well hidden to survive successive waves of bombings.
In Iran’s case, a mountainous country, many of these fortifications are built inside mountains, taking advantage of the natural terrain, just as the Vietnamese used the jungle to hide their equipment.
These constructions require significant investment and long-term planning, often spanning decades. It is estimated that the Iranian project has cost between $15-20 billion, with dozens of underground bases for storage, maintenance, and assembly of military equipment.
In addition to the missile force, the navy and air force also have these underground bases.
