US-Israel-Iran War Sets 4 Dangerous Global Precedents: Key Lessons Emerge
•Iran's "nuclear latency" failed to deter US-Israeli strikes, suggesting only actual nuclear weapons guarantee regime survival.
•"Leadership targeting" (Ali Khamenei, Mohammad Bagheri, Hossein Salami killed) and "preventative war" against proliferators normalized, eroding conventional deterrence.
•Inexpensive drone swarms depleted advanced air defenses, forcing a rethink of military cost-per-kill calculus and raising fears of "suicidal aggression."
•The conflict highlighted "strategic loneliness" for nations without superpower backing and the difficulty of maintaining "strategic autonomy" for countries like India and Turkey.
