Iran's Military Doctrine

It is amazing to me how much we have taught them both deliberately and unintentionally.

Mmmmmmmmmmm OK lol. If they are relying on experiences from the war with Iraq, I think it was a WWI type of war which was stationary. We will use maneuver, speed, surprise, and mass. It will be like Germany attacking France again.

- A country can have a doctrine but the doctrine could be wrong. The doctrine of the strategic bombing of Europe without escorts was wrong. We lost thousands of bombers. If you don't test a doctrine through war, how do you know if it is good? Our military has had plenty of practice.

- To divide C2 into 31 provinces and Tehran is stupid lol. I am not going to even expound on this STUPID!

- The US military found out helicopters are faster than speed boats.

- We will get air superiority rather quickly.

- I don't know much about their missile technology for tacital and strategic purposes.

Now a little more than a decade old, The Devil We Know by Robert Bair, a former CIA operative who spent time in the Middle East, it is still one of the best sources for first hand information about Iran. I wish I could find something more current and its equal. This article on Iran's Military Doctrine is the antithesis of Baer's work. It could have been written by a high school student from material gleaned from Internet searches. Personally, if I wanted to speculate on Iran's strategy, I would worry more about them sneaking nuclear devices into selected targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel and, if I were really paranoid, the United States. Although it is likely they will have primitive devices in the very new future if not already, but won't have ballistic missiles capable of delivering them reliably for several decades to come. They might even provide anonymous tips allowing one to be discovered to add an element of terror to their strategy.
