Iran’s “Mosaic Defence Doctrine” is a unique military strategy developed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to survive large-scale attacks and continue fighting even if key leaders or command centres are destroyed.
According to defence analysts and intelligence sources, the doctrine decentralises command across regional units, allowing military forces to operate independently if central control in Tehran is disrupted.
That sounds like CNN cope.
Did the IRGC also develop the “hide in the deepest hidey hole strategy?”
It's about darn time. Jimmy Carter's fouled up desert "helicopter rescue mission" was the low point.
Absolutely the lowest point of the 47 years.
Sweden has something the same but not the same due to the possibility of a Russian invasion.
Individual units if cut off have the prerogative to ignore commands from above since they may be bogus.
When Swedish units served under the UN during the Balkan civil war, the units ignored orders not to shoot at people shooting at them. They killed the attackers much to the UN’s heartburn.
Mossad is heck of a spy outfit, may be best in the world.
We were able to read license plates via satellite back in the 1970s.
I suspect the technology has improved.
They don’t even officially exist!
I think the want the Arabs so incensed that they wont care who they shoot if they start firing.
I don’t think that bleeding on your enemies is a good strategy.
I would suspect there are more than a few nuke suitcase bombs in Iran also
At the end of the day, if the Persians don’t take over, some other power will move in. Maybe Russia, Iraq, Turkey, Saudi will come in, so there has to be a deterrent to keep them out. Hidden suitcase nukes could be useful. Lots of oil in Iran....lotsa’ people want it.
Don’t forget our riverine craft that was captured because their weak ass detachment commander surrendered the vessel an 0 called it a diplomatic benefit.
If Iran has these suitcase nukes, why haven’t they used one already, even if only in a demonstration?
They have not because they do not have them.
Nuclear weapons are a great deterrent, but they are not the only deterrent.
The cancer metastasized. Time for surgery, radiation treatments and ablation.
It’s a nice cover for when your command and control above the unit level has been blown to bits.
Thanks for the link. Mentally ill, meditating, murdering Mohammedans are hard to get rid of.
I think the thought was Mossad would have the suitcase nukes in Iran.
People have different stories about how the operation to rescue the hostages under Carter wound down.
My Silver Star neighbor was one of the designers of the rescue as a Lt. Colonel. HE says that many in the chain of command were arguing that the mission was still viable after the crash in the desert, but that Carter personally pulled the plug in spite of that judgment.
Having related this previously, I know there are other opinions about that. But it’s his story, and he’s sticking to it.
He resigned shortly thereafter because of his opinion about Carter’s handling of the situation.
Yes, many sources have spoken about this “mosaic defence”
It may be hard to uproot dispersed missiles, but it also indicates that Iran is weak, its central leadership doesn’t exist, the country can’t make decisions, its economy is probably shattered, and its political stability is on the edge of chaos.
Regime change would have been nice, but Trump was not counting on it.
Iran will now be put in a tight box, with constant pressure being applied.
