An uneasy ceasefire is holding between US and Iran, as diplomatic backchannels try to prevent further escalation.
Before this truce, Iran has demonstrated an increased willingness to directly target U.S. military installations across the Gulf region, including bases in Iraq, Syria, and the Arabian Peninsula. These attacks have focused not only on troop concentrations but also on high-value assets such as radar systems, air defense units, and logistical hubs.
A notable feature of the conflict is the deliberate targeting of the “sensor layer”—early warning radars and surveillance systems—indicating a shift toward degrading battlefield awareness rather than relying solely on kinetic attrition. This reflected a more sophisticated operational approach, aimed at disrupting command-and-control networks and reducing interception effectiveness.
