This issue of Red Diamond features a variety of articles focused on Iran. Of particular interest are feature articles by renowned Iranian subject matter experts Joseph Fallon and Michael Rubin. Mr. Fallon places Iranian foreign policy in historical context, arguing that the present Iranian regime’s actions are consistent with the objectives of its predecessors. Dr. Rubin explores the complexities of Iran-Iraq relations arguing that Iranian interest in dominating its Western neighbor will never disappear. The issue additionally includes articles that explore how Iran’s historically competing armed forces are becoming increasingly expeditionary and retaliatory and analyze Iran’s ability to support military operations through space and counter-space endeavors. The issue also includes a preview of TRADOC G2’s upcoming Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 7-100.4, Iranian Tactics, planned for release in 2021.
