The second episode of Iran Insight; The War Season features an interview between Nahid Pour-Eisa, international affairs expert, and Seyed Pejman Amin-Madani, a researcher in defense studies, discussing the military dimensions of hybrid warfare.
Key highlights from this episode include:
- The recent Israeli aggression against Iran is a clear example of “hybrid” and “cognitive” warfare, which targets not only military infrastructure but also public perception—both domestically and internationally.
- Despite human losses, Iran’s defensive and offensive capabilities remain intact, with a full restoration of its response power within less than 12 hours after the attack.
- Israel’s reliance on foreign military logistics, especially aerial refueling and its limited capacity to produce advanced weaponry, is a major strategic vulnerability; its operations are unsustainable without U.S. support.
- Iran’s strategy does not seek the physical annihilation of the Zionist regime but focuses on strategic containment and internal attrition through a combination of soft power and military deterrence.
- Regional geopolitics, the involvement of European and Gulf states, and evolving field developments could rapidly alter the dynamics of the conflict. However, Iran has the preparedness and infrastructure to respond to any emerging scenario.
