What A War Game Already Told Us About Iran
Jason Abbott, Political Science professor, has published a new analysis in Just Security examining Iran’s asymmetric response to the current US military campaign. Abbott argues that Iran’s tactics (including swarm attacks, proxy escalation, and Strait of Hormuz pressure) were predicted in detail by a 2002 US military war game. The Pentagon ignored the lessons then. It is paying for that now.
The piece, titled “What A War Game Already Told Us About Iran,” appears in Just Security, a leading forum on law, rights, and security policy based at NYU School of Law. Abbott is a professor in the Department of Political Science and Law and a regular commentator on Asian Politics and International Affairs.
