Iran's missile strike against Israel was not just a military move but aimed at reinforcing regional ties while warning the West of escalating tensions if diplomatic efforts fail.
With 180 ballistic missiles fired, most were intercepted, and while there was minimal military damage, the strike was significant for Iran's regional standing and its strategy.
Iran's battlefield strategy showcased a reversal, with Tehran itself forced to act rather than relying exclusively on its regional proxies, which challenged its previous assumptions about the Axis of Resistance.
The aftermath of U.S. actions in Iraq facilitated Iran's regional alliances; the formation of Shiite militias created a path for Iranian influence across the region, shifting balances of power.
