According to The Telegraph, Tehran’s top priority is to withstand a potential American strike with minimal damage. As part of this strategy, Iran has moved critical weapons systems into newly constructed underground facilities to protect them from air attacks.
The report states that Iran plans to respond to any confrontation by launching a large-scale assault on US military infrastructure in the Middle East using ballistic missiles and armed drones.
First Target: Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar
The British newspaper claims Iran’s initial strike would focus on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, one of the most important US military hubs in the region.
Following this, Iran is expected to target American bases located in:
- Kuwait
- The United Arab Emirates
- Syria
The attacks would be aimed at overwhelming US defenses and disrupting military operations across multiple fronts.
Hezbollah and Houthis to Join Attacks
The report adds that Iran would not act alone. Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen are expected to participate by launching coordinated attacks on US targets in the region.
This multi-front approach is intended to stretch American military resources and increase pressure on Washington.
Hormuz Strait Under Threat
The Telegraph also reports that Iran is preparing measures to disrupt global energy flows. Tehran is expected to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which approximately 21 million barrels of oil pass daily.
Ships and oil tankers transiting the strait would be targeted with missile and drone attacks, the report claims.
“Iran Knows It Cannot Win But Can Make War Unbearably Costly”
According to the newspaper, Iranian officials are fully aware that they cannot defeat the United States in a conventional war. However, Tehran believes it can achieve victory by turning the conflict into an economically, militarily, and politically unbearable burden for Washington.
The Telegraph concludes that Iran’s strategy is not to defeat the US outright, but to force it to retreat by dramatically increasing the cost of war.
