Strategic Shift: Iran’s Suicide Drones Outmaneuver US Defenses

According to reports, the primary responsibility for targeting American military bases in the Persian Gulf has now been shifted to the naval wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The past 96 hours of operations have highlighted a significant challenge for US air defense systems, which are struggling to neutralize waves of low-cost yet highly effective Iranian loitering munitions. Specifically, in the 14th and 15th phases of the offensive, the IRGC Navy focused its maritime front on US installations across the Southern Persian Gulf. This new multi-layered drone strategy is being viewed as a decisive move to overwhelm enemy defenses.
