Iran's history over five decades
The article discusses the evolution of Iran's military and missile capabilities since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, highlighting how the country shifted from relying on imported weapons and Western alliances to building its own defensive arsenal through reverse engineering and advanced technologies. It outlines the stages of development for Iranian missiles and drones, from the "Scud" missiles in the 1980s to ballistic missiles with ranges reaching up to 2,000 kilometers, as well as modern drones and air defense systems like "Bavar-373." It explains how Iran progressed from simply depending on the West to becoming an independent military power, relying on asymmetric deterrence strategies and developing an extensive missile arsenal. This includes a network of regional alliances extending from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Houthi rebels in Yemen. The article emphasizes that these capabilities, along with Iran's influence across the region through the "Resistance Axis," have altered the regional balance of power. Despite political changes, Iran's geography and strategic location remain constant factors shaping its security posture.
