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?”

Super! 👍

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.

One thing you can bet on 100% is that Israel has embedded spotters and observers with satellite phones on the ground in Iran.

We were able to read license plates via satellite back in the 1970s.

I suspect the technology has improved.

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.

It suggests Iran is "on the ropes"...

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.
