Knowing what comes next in Operation Epic Fury is better understood by grasping the evolution of Iran’s military structure and capabilities.
U.S. leaders brag about airstrikes’ tactical effects while Iran’s drones and missiles achieve strategic results.
News that Iran had fired ballistic missiles at a US military base in the Indian Ocean was startling, but how much of a threat does the development represent?
The Trump administration’s miscalculation of Iran is the latest entry in an old and lethal tradition in international politics: the catastrophic gap between what leaders believe and what war delivers.
Iranian attacks are degrading the interceptor stocks of the US and its allies.
Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran have triggered a widening regional conflict, drawing in Tehran’s allies and several Arab states while testing missile defences across the Middle East.
The authorization of longer-range missiles by the Biden administration is seen as an effort to counter a buildup of Russian troops supported by fighters from North Korea.

One key reason is to provide an increased deterrent in an increasingly turbulent region.
Poland’s robust arguments for more weapons for Ukraine is partly sparked by its own vulnerable position.
Russia’s use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine has put the weapons in the news. Next-generation versions under development could dramatically alter national and global security.
The laws of war and what is considered acceptable and unacceptable weaponry suggest there’s a right and wrong way to kill. It’s unlikely any of the victims of war would appreciate the distinction.
