How the Iranian war rendered the U.S site strategy obsolete The 2026 war exposed critical flaws in the American siege strategy, a posture the U.S. had maintained since the Cold War. What was once seen as a protective network has practically become a collection of vulnerable targets. The physical encirclement of Iran as we know it today was consolidated by the 1980 Carter Doctrine. To make the threat credible, the U.S. created CENTCOM and began constructing a vast network of bases in neighboring countries to surround the region and ensure rapid intervention. For decades, the U.S. hemmed in Iran with bases in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia to project power quickly. In Bahrain’s case, the country became the headquarters for the U.S. 5th Fleet, forming a strategy aimed at strangling the Iranian economy. The opposite occurred; given Iran’s ability to strike logistics hubs like Jebel Ali in the UAE and Shuaiba in Kuwait, the logic was inverted, leaving the U.S. struggling to resupply its own besieged bases. The 5th Fleet headquarters no longer hosts a single ship in the Gulf and has been rendered uninhabitable, along with 14 other bases in the region: five in Kuwait alone and four in Iraq. The intensity of the attacks was such that, beyond missiles and drones, Iran also utilized aircraft to bombard these installations with glide bombs, inflicting massive damage. Iran managed 40 to 50 distinct targets within the first 24 hours of the war. In Iraq, various militias joined the Iranian front, causing the evacuation of not only U.S. bases but also installations of other NATO countries. In other words, one could say Iran forced the de-occupation of Iraq, after all, why were there still bases in Iraq when ISIS has been inactive for years and the Iraqi army is organized? The violence of the Iranian reaction against these bases led U.S. command to order soldiers to take shelter in luxury hotels wearing civilian clothes. Iranian intelligence discovered this, and Iran began targeting those hotels as well. It was pure chaos, with numerous dead and wounded. This was the first real test of the siege strategy, and it proved to be a disaster, with a staggering volume of resources thrown away. What puzzles me is that I predicted this situation in two publications weeks before the war. If I foresaw it, how did no one at the Pentagon? It is obvious that you cannot operate bases 100 to 500 km away from a country that is a missile and drone powerhouse. Where is the difficulty in accepting this? The catastrophe of this strategy goes far beyond Iran, as it is replicated mainly in Asia. It is estimated that Kuwait received at least two batteries in February, adding to the 7 or 8 already in operation, totaling 9 to 10 batteries. Taiwan has this same number, 9 Patriot batteries with about 700 to 900 interceptors. To read full article: open.substack.com/pub/global21/p…
