  • description: How has Iran benefited from decentralization in its military strategy? In this episode of the Arabi Post podcast, Dr. Sami Al-Arian explains that one of the most prominent elements of the Iranian military strategy is granting provinces broader authority to utilize their missile capabilities without constant recourse to the central command, as a precaution against the targeting or assassination of the leadership. He also discusses how this decentralization might explain some of the inconsistencies in the trajectory of certain strikes, but at the same time, it has contributed to enhancing the effectiveness of the Iranian strategy of attrition and pressure on both the Israeli and American sides, especially in relation to economic pressure and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Military Decentralization: Between Field Effectiveness and Decision-Making Control #Podcast #ArabiPost What did the war on Iran reveal? And what does it say for the future of the region and the world? | Arabi Post Podcast Did the United States succeed in achieving its objectives in the war on Iran? And why did the confrontation end in a truce instead of a decisive victory? In this episode of the Arabi Post podcast, Dr. Sami Al-Arian, Director of the Center for Islamic and Global Affairs Studies, offers a comprehensive analysis of the results of the 40-day war between the United States and Iran, revealing the major transformations this confrontation imposed on the region and the world. Al-Arian discusses how Washington entered the war with ambitious goals, including toppling the Iranian regime and diminishing its influence, but encountered a different reality on the ground, which led to its retreat and acceptance of de-escalation. He also addresses Israel's role in fueling this escalation and its failure to achieve its strategic objectives. The episode also examines the war's impact on the American domestic scene, the growing divisions within society and the political elite, and the increasing doubts about the war's effectiveness, especially with the rising voices that considered it a war serving Israel's interests more than American ones. Al-Arian also reveals how this war reshaped the balance of power in the region and affected the United States' relationship with its allies, given its inability to protect its bases or impose its hegemony as before, thus opening the door to a new phase of regional and international conflict. The Arabi Post podcast is presented by journalist Osama Abu Dhair.
