The article raises the question of whether Iran has exhausted its military capabilities in light of the recent conflict instigated by Israel and the US against it. Political scientist Dr. Imad Abshenas from Tehran University argues that Iran is engaged in a prolonged tactical warfare, targeting the US and Israel together. He suggests that Iran is currently relying on older-generation missiles to deplete the aerial defenses of its adversaries rather than deploying its newer and more destructive missile technologies.

Abshenas emphasizes that Iran has not yet utilized its newer missile capabilities, which could significantly damage its opponents. He argues that this strategy of attrition could weaken Israel's defensive capacity in the future, allowing Iran to maintain a form of leverage in ongoing and future conflicts. His comments come in response to claims from the US Central Command about American air superiority over Iran and the destruction of Iranian naval capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz.

While acknowledging the air superiority of the US forces, Abshenas expresses skepticism about the US's complete control over maritime operations regarding Iran. He indicates that the situation remains complex, with Iran possibly maintaining the potential for surprise counteractions that could alter the balance of power in the region.
