National Security Strategy: Deterrence, Consequences, and Iranian Resilience

Understand why Iran views military strength as non-negotiable for survival and how adversaries miscalculate the costs of aggression. Readers will clarify the central role of deterrence in preventing—or provoking—major regional conflict.

Short Summary

  • Military capability remains central to historical national stability and defense against external threats.
  • Deterrence succeeds only when the perceived consequences of attacking a nation heavily outweigh any potential reward.
  • External provocations aimed at achieving regime change have recently strengthened public support for the current Iranian government.

This discussion focuses on the realist perspective in international relations, emphasizing that military readiness is the essential foundation for avoiding attack. Dr. Aslani analyzes why abandoning defense capabilities invites escalation and details how recent hostilities have reinforced internal unity in Iran.

If Israel has them, Iran should have them. How could they look at what they did to Afghanistan and Iraq and not think they need them.

Israel’s Channel 14 (august,2025)reported that the recent “double-tap” strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza was not a mistake, but an operation explicitly approved and coordinated by senior IDF command. This directly contradicts Benjamin Netanyahu’s public statement in English calling it a “mishap” and claiming Israel protects journalists and medical staff.
