Has Iran become more powerful after the 12-day war with Israel and the United States? Have other warplanes lost their effectiveness in today's wars? Will the role of drones and hypersonic and supersonic missiles with 2-ton warheads and radar-evading and vertical-flight missiles become more prominent in future wars? Did Iran set a model for future wars in this war to the world and Western countries?

Achieving a position of power following any military conflict depends largely on the realization of predetermined objectives within the framework of grand security-defense strategies. In the 12-day war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Zionist regime, a precise assessment of the operational objectives of both sides and their degree of success in achieving these goals constitutes an essential component of strategic analysis of this event. Given the controlled media environment on both fronts, as well as the classified nature of information related to military operations, providing a comprehensive analysis at this stage presents certain challenges.

However, based on available verifiable data, it can be inferred that Iran's air defense systems and aerial sovereignty protection faced more significant challenges compared to the Zionist regime. This highlights the urgent need to revise defense strategies and strengthen security infrastructure. At the same time, this analysis does not negate the severe blows inflicted on the Zionist regime's defensive capabilities, as a final assessment of the military exchanges in this conflict requires more time and the release of more accurate information from reliable sources.

In response to your second and third questions, it is necessary to remind you of the decisive role played by American and Israeli fighter jets and bombers in this war, which shifted the military balance. According to most analysts, their impact was more significant than that of ballistic missiles and drones. Even if we were to emphasize the role of drones and missiles, the behind-the-scenes importance of air defense systems, long-range radars, and military satellites—which critically enhance the performance of missiles and drones—cannot be overstated. In this regard as well, Iran appeared more vulnerable.

This event underscores the necessity of prioritizing enhanced strategic resilience, improved deterrence capabilities, and strengthened regional security cooperation in Iran's defense policies. Additionally, the imperative to adopt advanced technologies in cyber warfare and electronic warfare stands out as one of the key lessons from this conflict.
