PNN – A research study by the Center for Strategic Studies of Tasnim News Agency, analyzing the content of all materials published by 80 think tanks around the world over the past month about the America and Israel’s war against Iran, shows that there is a significant consensus among experts and analysts of these think tanks about the definitive failure of the US and Israel to achieve their goals against Iran.
The analysis of the content of these think tanks reveals 5 important pillars about the Ramadan War:
- The US and Israel, due to their technological superiority in military weapons, have been able to inflict blows militarily and “tactically”.
- Iran has “strategically” failed the US and Israel in achieving all the main goals of the war, namely overthrowing the political system, disintegrating or eliminating Iran’s defense capabilities, and political-social surrender in Iran.
- 3. Iran has practically gained the upper hand in the war through a complex and intelligent asymmetric war, through a blow to the military and technological credibility of the other side, as well as by taking over the Strait of Hormuz and the inability of the US and Israel and their allies to reopen it militarily.
- 4. After some military strikes by the US and Israel, as well as smart management and strategic successes by Iran, the war has turned into a battle of attrition, but time is in Iran’s favor more than in America and Israel’s favor.
- 5. To get out of this war as quickly as possible, America and its allies must either achieve a propaganda victory or end the war right now without even that propaganda victory.
The composition of the think tanks surveyed by the Tasnim News Agency’s Center for Strategic Studies is as follows:
America: 22 think tanks
Britain: 8 think tanks
European Union and European countries (France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, etc.): 18 think tanks
