Military expert and strategist Brigadier General Elias Hanna provides an analysis of what he terms the first artificial intelligence war in history, taking place over Iran. He notes that the conflict involves the real-time analysis of battle data, allowing for immediate targeting orders to be issued to the closest aircraft with minimal human intervention. This, he argues, signifies overwhelming American air superiority against an Iranian strategy focused on attrition and resilience rather than direct confrontation.

Hanna elaborates on the difference between air control and air dominance, claiming that current operations in Iranian airspace fall into the category of air control rather than full air dominance. He emphasizes that control refers to operating from outside Iranian airspace with the possibility of contesting that control, while dominance implies complete freedom to operate within and outside Iranian airspace without restriction. The continuing ability of Iran to shoot down American Hermes 900 drones serves as evidence that full air dominance has yet to be achieved.

In his military analysis segments, Hanna asserts that drones are the advanced eyes on the battlefield, providing live imagery of targets back to command centers. This modern aspect of warfare, utilizing artificial intelligence and drone technology, shapes the dynamics of the ongoing conflict, indicating a shift in operational strategies and the potential impact of emerging military technologies.
