They are also having backup commanders and bases and building underground bunkers that can protect people from missiles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not altogether a bad concept. I assume they are thinking we will never, ever find out where these sites are? Or maybe they are burying their HQs and people really, really, really deep?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The second stage is based on regional retaliation. The IRGC says Iran would launch massive drone and missile strikes at U.S. bases in Qatar, Kuwait and Syria. They also plan to seek help from Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah paramilitary group and Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels to attack U.S. allies in the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;b&quot;:76}\">The country has schemed to target Israel as well. In a recent interview with Lebanon\u2019s Al Mayadeen television, IRGC commander Hossein Daghighi said, \u201cIsrael will be Iran\u2019s first target if the US attacks. Our strategy is deterrent and defensive and can impose a heavy cost on the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third stage involves cyber warfare. Iran is planning to target U.S. transportation, energy grids and financial systems. The goal is to cause internal chaos in the country and slow down its military operations.<\/p>\n<p>According to the fourth stage of the war plan, Iran would try to hurt the global economy by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. This could disrupt the global oil market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here they may have some success &#8211; the Straits are indeed narrow and don&#8217;t have a lot of maneuver room. &#8216;Course, if the really oil dependent nations (as Not A Lawyer pointed out, we only get about 10% of our oil from thereabouts) decide to send assets &#8211; an Iranian blockade would probably crumble\u00a0 pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The fifth and final stage is based on the assumption that the U.S. would not want to fight a long-term war. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-gb\/news\/world\/iran-reveals-5-stage-war-plan-to-win-against-us\/ar-AA1VKbkK\">MSN\/ Knews<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gotta admit, those sneaky mullahs got us there. We traditionally don&#8217;t like long drawn out wars, like the twenty YEARS we just spent around there. But&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Step 1 &#8211; as fast as they move, we will adapt. Between allied intelligence and satellite reconnaissance, and with the world&#8217;s best ability to put payloads on targets from half a world away &#8211; gonna call advantage US there.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2 &#8211; Besides the targets in Iran we would hit, there is who &#8211; Hamas? Hezbollah? In case Tehran didn&#8217;t notice, they are 100% dependent on Iran and desperately need resupply after last year &#8211; it&#8217;s a zero-sum game. Whatever they can get will take from Iran&#8217;s stocks.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3 &#8211; They talk tough ideologically. Can they back that up without going nuclear? Me, I doubt it. Look where the term Iron Dome comes from &#8211; Israel&#8217;s air defenses are pretty much top shelf &#8211; and well practiced.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4? Would normally turn into a quagmire&#8230; but I suspect under this President, it might not. Trump will use a big stick to sort that out, I think.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5 &#8211; well, if you promptly take out the enemy&#8217;s air and naval forces so they mainly have ground forces in an isolated area &#8211; it IS over quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a news agency linked to the\u00a0 Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Iran has a tippy-top secret &hellip; <a title=\"How the  Ayatollah  wants to kick our assahollah\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=179039\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">How the  Ayatollah  wants to kick our assahollah<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[308,478,340],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iran","category-none","category-trump"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=179039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=179039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=179039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=179039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
