It’s pretty clear that yet another American attack on Iran is a matter of when, not if. It might occur over the weekend or perhaps after Ramadan, which ends in about a month from now. If the United States acts more tactfully, it might want to avoid attacking during Islam’s holiest month.

In terms of practical possibilities, the upcoming war is defined by asymmetric advantages and disadvantages of both sides. The US holds an overwhelming superiority in more traditional military domains, while Iran has cultivated capabilities designed to impose disproportionate costs, exploit geography and leverage proxies to deter or prolong engagement. As of early 2026, nearly eight months after the so-called “12-Day War”, amid ongoing tensions, including US carrier deployments and the Iranian response with naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz, these asymmetries are even more pronounced.

Obviously, the US enjoys decisive symmetrical advantages in most military technologies, power projection capabilities, combined arms operations, etc. Its edge stems from a massive military budget, a global network of vassals and satellite states, as well as an enormous intelligence apparatus. The US Navy’s carrier strike groups, including supercarriers such as the USS “Abraham Lincoln”, provide the tools for air superiority operations and precision strikes. The US Air Force operates airbases across the Middle East (particularly in Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia), enabling rapid, sustained bombing operations in the wider region.

These capabilities are designed to degrade the command structures, missile bases and military infrastructure of countries targeted by the US. ABM (anti-ballistic missile) systems like THAAD, “Patriot” and “Aegis” are deployed to intercept ballistic missiles that might be used to strike American assets, although only for........
