How Did Iran Change the Balance of War in the Persian Gulf With Targeted Attacks?

A visual investigation finds at least 135 attacks attributed to Iran and its allies targeted critical infrastructure in Persian Gulf states.

Reuters visual research reports at least 135 attacks attributed to Iran and its allies on critical infrastructure in the Persian Gulf countries.

Ambassador Arjan-International Group: Reuters' visual research report shows how Iran and its allies have effectively resisted and even taken the initiative against America's superior military pressure with precise and targeted attacks on critical infrastructure across the Persian Gulf.

According to this report, Iranian missiles and drones have attacked important infrastructure targets in the Persian Gulf countries at least 135 times. These attacks have often caused extensive damage that the governments of the Persian Gulf countries have tended to hide. The equipment targeted has been of particular importance, disrupting US war plans.

The Reuters report emphasizes that the success of these attacks challenges the image of a "weakened Iran" and shows that the country has been able to establish a balance in an unequal war by adopting an "asymmetric" strategy and targeting the opponents' economic and logistical weaknesses.

Abu Dhabi's claim of de-escalation comes at a time when the continuation of hostile positions against Iran's territorial integrity, hosting Netanyahu and security alignment with the US and the Zionist regime, has created a clear gap between the UAE's diplomatic speech and regional behavior.

Iran's entry into a new stage of multi-layer response has changed the equations of war; From subsurface hunting and American drones to attacking bases and targeting oil tankers; Initiatives that have challenged the claim of weakening Iran and Washington's narrative.

David Petraeus, the former director of the CIA and a retired American general, pointed to the high cost of countering Iran's drones and said that the United States may have used up half of its interceptor missiles.
