Iran’s High-Risk Strategy for a No-Limits War

Wall Street Journal: “Iran had for two years responded to foreign attacks with limited counterpunches directed at its attacker. Instead, under the new strategy, Tehran would escalate conflict across the region, especially hitting Arab Gulf states and hampering the global economy in hopes of dampening President Trump’s willingness to prolong the conflict and coming back for a future one.”

“That plan includes implementing its so-called mosaic defense, a decentralized approach that allows individual commanders the autonomy to keep up the fight if cut off from their superiors.”

“Iran activated the new strategy after last June’s devastating 12-day war with Israel, with its leaders determining they had made a strategic mistake.”
