Iran reorganizes leadership and tactics as it braces for an extended US conflict
Iran has reshuffled its top officials and shifted its military approach, signaling preparation for a longer confrontation with the United States.
The recent changes in Iran's senior command structure follow a series of targeted killings of its leaders by US and Israeli forces. Analysts say the moves reflect a drive to centralize command and prioritize offensive capabilities. A drone swarm deployed against a US fighter jet illustrates Tehran's effort to apply lessons from the Russia-Ukraine war, according to a defence think-tank.
Why it matters
Iran's restructuring hints at a more aggressive, longer-lasting stance toward the US, raising regional security risks.
