Following the ceasefire that came into effect after the 40-day conflict, the asymmetric strategies developed by Iran against the US military power projection in West Asia began to be analyzed by military analysts. Despite the US's superior air and naval power, Iran achieved a historic success not through technological superiority but through a multidimensional and innovative asymmetric approach that imposed high costs. Iran's coastal defense, mobile anti-ship missiles, and intense electronic warfare capabilities managed to keep US Navy carrier groups 300 kilometers away from Iranian shores. Anti-ship missiles with different ranges such as Noor, Qader, and Abu Mahdi restricted the operational area of US warships and caused defense systems to respond with high-cost countermeasures. Additionally, Iran's ballistic missile force challenged US Patriot and THAAD defense systems with highly maneuverable missiles like Kheibar Shekan. Despite billions of dollars spent on defense missiles by the US and its allies, many attacks could not be prevented. This situation revealed that the US's high-tech defense systems are weak against long-term, low-cost, and intense attacks. Iran's strategic success holds important lessons regarding the balance of power and military strategies in the region.
