John Kerry Acknowledges Iran’s Non-Conventional Warfare Strength

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has acknowledged Iran’s growing capability in non-conventional and asymmetric warfare, describing it as a significant factor in modern regional conflicts. He said Iran has demonstrated resilience in the face of repeated military pressures and has emerged as a more capable regional power.

Kerry noted that Iran is a “skilled player” in unconventional warfare and has effectively developed strategies that fall outside traditional battlefield tactics. He added that he had previously warned American policymakers about Iran’s expanding military sophistication in this domain.

According to his remarks, Iran is among the countries that have mastered asymmetric warfare techniques, allowing it to respond effectively to more technologically advanced adversaries. He emphasized that understanding these evolving strategies is essential for shaping future security and defense policies.
