Since the 1979 revolution, the ruling establishment of Iran has
developed and articulated a defense strategy reflective of the
country's Iran-Iraq war experience and its international isolation.
Its asymmetrical warfare doctrine, use of irregular forces in
military campaigns, deployment of ballistic missiles, use of fast
naval vessels to harass and confuse adversaries, and finally
development of a sophisticated cyber warfare capability, are all
features of this unique defense strategy. Based on a wide range of
primary sources in Persian, Arabic and English, Gawdat Bahgat and
Anoushiravan Ehteshami offer a detailed and authoritative analysis
of Iran's defense strategy. Additionally, this book provides a
comparative analysis of the Islamic Republic's capabilities in
relation to Israel and Saudi Arabia, its main regional adversaries.
Framing Tehran's threat perceptions following the revolution within
a wider historical context, this book will facilitate further
analytical reflections on the country's changing role in the
region, and its relations further afield, with the United States,
Europe, Russia and China.
