Seyed Hamed Amini/ The 12-day war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Zionist regime and the United States after their criminal invasion of this country is considered a turning point in the history of modern Middle Eastern wars. This conflict was not simply an exchange of missile fire, but a full-scale confrontation between two schools of thought and technology in the wars of the 21st century:
- On the one hand, Iran's indigenous electronic warfare and artificial intelligence, and on the other hand, the defense network based on Western technology of Israel and the United States.
The result of this short but meaningful battle showed that the era of unilateral dominance of the United States and Israel in the military and intelligence arena is coming to an end and the axis of resistance led by Iran has been able to establish a new order of intelligent deterrence.
1. The capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in electronic warfare
The 12-day war was the arena for the manifestation of part of the Islamic Republic's hidden power in the field of electronic warfare, cyber warfare, and intelligent deception of the enemy. By designing a multilayered electronic operation, Iran succeeded in grounding the enemy on three main levels:
1. Disruption of Israeli guidance and communication systems:
The control systems of Israeli reconnaissance and combat drones suffered widespread disruption in the very first days of the war. Field sources reported that the communication lines between the central command and defense sectors in southern Israel were cut off for several hours.
This disruption caused confusion among commanders and reduced coordination in intercepting Iranian missiles.
2. Cyber infiltration of Israeli and American multilayered defenses:
The IRGC electronic warfare units succeeded in penetrating the Iron Dome defense network as well as the American THAAD and Patriot systems in the region using jamming and data infiltration systems.
As a result, some of the Israeli defense missiles suffered a misdirection error and hit their own territories. This incident, which was also reported by international sources, was a symbol of Iran's technical power in penetrating the enemy's military infrastructure.
3. Use of artificial intelligence algorithms in guiding missiles and drones:
Iran used indigenous artificial intelligence networks to adjust the flight path of missiles in real time, so that after firing, their path was adjusted with new reconnaissance data.
This technology increased the accuracy of Iranian missiles in the final days of the war by more than 90 percent, and military and security targets in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Ashkelon were directly hit.
4. Collapse of Israeli systems and the decline of Western technological dominance
One of the most important results of this battle was the collapse of the myth of the invincibility of the Zionist regime's defense systems. Iron Dome, which was presented for years by Western media propaganda as the iron wall of Israel's security, in practice remained powerless against the intelligent wave of Iranian missile and cyber attacks.
The Iron Dome, David's Flakhon, and THAAD defense systems failed several times during the conflict and were unable to accurately track targets.
Some of the Israeli defense missiles went off course and landed in residential areas of the regime due to a disruption in the navigation system.
The command centers in Haifa and southern Israel were put into an operational blackout for several hours.
Regional military experts believe that these failures were not only the result of missile power, but also the result of Iran's deep penetration of electronic warfare into the enemy's defense structure; where intelligence, command, and communications were simultaneously disrupted.
5. Iran's Intelligent Strategy in Fire Management and Maintaining Deterrence
During the 12-day war, Iran demonstrated that it is well aware of the phased management of the battle.
At the beginning of the war, a large volume of missiles from older generations were fired to saturate the enemy’s systems and weaken the defense lines. In the later stages, the number of shots was reduced, but accuracy and penetration increased.
This strategy had three main goals:
- Testing the enemy’s response capacity and discovering the weaknesses of the Iron Dome;
- Preserving missile reserves for possible future conflicts;
- Transitioning from a war of attrition to a precise and smart war.
According to senior military experts, in addition to maintaining deterrence, Iran was able to send a clear message to regional and trans-regional enemies with this method: any aggression will be met with a smart, targeted and costly response.
6. Key Iranian equipment and systems in electronic warfare and defense
Iran’s strength in this battle is the result of years of investment in indigenous technology and the development of defense systems. Part of this capability includes:
- Bavar-373 air defense system: with a range of 300 kilometers, capable of intercepting stealth targets.
- Khordad 3 and Khordad 15 systems: for simultaneous engagement with multiple targets at different altitudes.
- Nasir, Falaq, Asr, and Shafaq electronic warfare systems: dedicated to disrupting enemy communications and radar.
- Mohajer-6, Shahed-136, Shahed-191, and Karrar drones: capable of carrying jamming and electronic reconnaissance equipment.
- IRGC and Army cyber defense network: a joint structure for monitoring, infiltration, and defense against enemy cyber attacks.
- This multilayered network allowed Iran to maintain its superiority in the data and wave fields while physically confronting them in the sky.
7. Israel’s political and strategic defeat and regional consequences
Along with its military defeat, the Zionist regime also suffered a legitimacy crisis in the political and diplomatic arena.
Analysts believe that Israel’s failure to respond effectively weakened its standing with Western allies and Arab states. In contrast, Iran, as a power that was able to withstand the Western coalition, solidified its position in the axis of resistance and among Muslim nations.
8. The Unity of the Islamic World and the Awakening of Nations
One of the important spiritual and political results of the 12-Day War was the reunification of Muslim nations from East to West Asia.
In many Islamic countries, including Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, demonstrations and widespread support for the resistance of the Iranian people took place.
Military analysts consider this phenomenon a symbol of the transition from "separate nations" to a "united Islamic nation"; a nation that stands together against aggression and oppression.
Conclusion
The 12-Day War, following the criminal aggression of the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran, showed that military and technological power is no longer the monopoly of the West. Relying on indigenous knowledge and field experience, the Islamic Republic of Iran was able to neutralize the most advanced Western defense systems and show that a new era of battles has begun:
The era of Iranian data, wave, and artificial intelligence warfare.
Israel’s defeat in this battle was not only the defeat of an army, but also the defeat of an intellectual system based on domination and unilateralism. From now on, any aggression in the region will be met with a response based on Iranian intelligence, faith, and technology; a response that is not only defensive, but also deterrent and decisive in the future equations of the Middle East.
