When we write these lines, a ceasefire between Iran, the United States, and Israel has just been decided. Make no mistake, each belligerent will have taken advantage to rearm. The Iranians, with components for their ballistic missiles and drones, alongside Russia and China. The Israelis, with ammunition for aviation and missiles for air defense. The Americans, to replenish their weapon stocks on board their ships and increase their ground troops.
But currently, the Israeli government considers that Iran no longer poses a strategic threat, and even less of an existential threat. For Tel Aviv, the Iranian government no longer exists, with Iran operating solely in cellular mode with spokespersons and “military regions” having the freedom to defend or strike specific targets in neighboring countries.
Starting from the end of March, it was Israel and, to a lesser extent, the United States, who set the pace of operations, while the Iranians found themselves limited in their ability to retaliate. Despite this, the “military experts” of television broadcasts continued to assert that the Iranians were still resisting and launching ballistic missiles and drones.
It is important to remember that in six days, Israel brought down a country of 90 million inhabitants to its knees. During this conflict, a major factor was the increasing use of artificial intelligence. Thanks to it, Mossad managed to shoot down a target in Iran thousands of kilometers away in just two minutes, a process that previously would have taken a month. First, they evaluated its importance, its strategic advantage or lack thereof. Then, they determined the most suitable combat aircraft for the strike and the type of ammunition to use!
Although the Iranians sought to involve as many countries, especially neighbors, to divide them later, and although they had the ability to endure and hold out for a long time, defeat is inevitable. Despite the ceasefire established on April 8, 2026, the war will continue until the total disappearance of the Iranian regime.
