“Iran is developing its own version of Israel’s ‘mowing the lawn’ strategy,” writes Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar. “In doing so, it hopes to make the United States less able to protect its allies and its own forces from future Iranian strikes—and thus less likely to stay in the region.” bit.ly/4iolAvt
