he Engineering of Iranian Power in the Regional Conflict Equation After 2014: An Analytical Approach to Doctrine and Objectives

Abstract

This study analyzes the post-2014 transformations in the military doctrine and strategic objectives of the Islamic Republic of Iran amid escalating regional and international threats. The research adopts an analytical-strategic approach to examine how Iran has restructured its power in response to escalating threats, particularly those related to the conflict with Israel and the United States. It argues that Iran has adopted a hybrid doctrine combining conventional and asymmetric deterrence tools, guided by expansionist visions rooted in "forward defense" and "strategic depth."
