Asymmetric Warfare: Strategies, Tools, Scope, Time, and Lessons from History

Image
(Iran Blockaded Strait of Hormuz as Part of Asymmetric Warfare) Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz as part of its Asymmetric Warfare strategy. Iran has heavily mined the entry and exit to Strait of Hormuz which falls under its territorial waters. Strait of Hormuz is a mere 21 miles wide at its narrowest point and has left only 2 narrow entry and exit channels open that are just 2 miles wide, and both fall under its territorial waters. Strait of Hormuz is a sea route from where not just 20% of global crude oil shipments but also around 1/5th of natural gas, aluminium, fertilizer passes through. This blockade has also affected the business prospects of other Persian Gulf countries, be it Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and above all UAE. Asymmetric Warfare has reshaped modern conflicts more than conventional battles. It pits a weaker actor against a superior military power using unconventional methods to exploit vul...

USA Blockade of Strait of Hormuz Could Quicken USA Empire’s Demise

Image
The USA's Naval Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, is a dramatic escalation after ceasefire in the 2026 Iran War. On April 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET, USA under President Donald Trump imposed a naval blockade targeting all maritime traffic entering or leaving Iranian ports and coastal areas along the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. This blockade was in addition to blockade already imposed by Iran on the Straits of Hormuz that has effectively stopped over 20% of global crude oil outflow from the Persian Gulf. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has reportedly deployed over 10,000 personnel, more than a dozen warships, and dozens of aircraft to enforce it, primarily from positions in the south of Gulf of Oman and northern Arabian Sea to minimize exposure to Iranian missiles and drones. In the first 24 hours, 6 merchant ships were turned back, with no vessels reported breaching the blockade yet—though ship-tracking data shows some uncertainty did and continued traffic through the broader St...

     In a first ever confirmed combat loss of USAF aircraft inside Iran in the ongoing Iran - USA/Israel war, Iran has shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle, a twin seater fighter jet. Early on April 3, 2026; in a major escalation in the five-week-old U.S.-Iran conflict, Iranian forces shot down a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet over Iranian territory. U.S. officials have confirmed the incident, and have confirmed that a high-stakes search-and-rescue operation is underway. Reports came to light when on April 3, 2026, Iranian state media, including outlets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), announced that Iranian air defenses had downed an American fighter jet. They released photos and videos purporting to show wreckage, including identifiable parts like a tail fin consistent with an F-15E Strike Eagle.     F-15E Strike Eagle Is a two-seat strike fighter flown by a pilot and weapons systems officer.

Iran Fires Cluster Bombs into Israel

Image
When on 28 February 2026 Israel and USA fired the PGMs into Tehran killing Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, they thought that Iran will surrender and both USA and Israel expected to announce victory. But it was not to be, Iran instead fired back and hit Israel and USA interests including its lapdog kingdoms in the Middle East nations like UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Today is 17th day of the war and Iran is hitting hard. Since last few days Iran has been firing  cluster bombs (or cluster warheads) on top of missiles  into Israel. Seeing this Israel is shedding crocodile tears, it forgets it fired  cluster bombs (or cluster munitions)  into Gaza Strip and Lebanon not to mention  White Phosphorus bombs .  Nobody expected Iran to fight for this long and today the initiative and narrative in the 2-front war against Israel and USA is with Iran. Iran is giving a rude awakening to USA Empire , which is about to collapse.   I had already pred...
