Summary |
Iran's military capabilities and perceptions of its threat environment can and will change. In thinking through a post-JCPOA world--with loosened arms embargoes and realigned political realities--the United States needs to consider more deeply how and why Iran would use military force. This report attempts to answer some essential questions about how the Islamic Republic views the nature of war: how it starts, escalates, ends, and is prevented in the first place. The answers to these questions are based on the findings drawn from a hypothetical--but not unrealistic--expert-level crisis simulation of a potential confrontation between the United States and Iran in 2017 and from historical cases studies of major conventional and unconventional Iranian military actions since the Iran-Iraq War |
