Iran's Decentralised War Strategy: 31 Commands and the Lessons Tehran Learned from Western Wars
הראשים נערפים, הגוף נשאר: הלקחים של איראן ממלחמות המערב - והחלוקה ל-31
Summary
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been reorganised into 31 independent commands, each capable of launching missiles autonomously, according to a report cited by the Daily Mail. This decentralised "DMD strategy" is designed to ensure regime survival even if top leadership is eliminated — a direct lesson drawn from Western military campaigns. Senior Israeli officials have cautioned that while Iran has achieved no significant gains, dismantling this structure will take considerable time.
