    “Iranian Doctrine”; Power from the heart of the night, deterrence against the enemy

    🔹 We are passing the eighty-second night of the “Third Imposed War.” The skies of Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and hundreds of other cities and villages witness every night a scene that does not fit into any of the usual rules of modern wars.

    🔹 Streets full of people who are not there for celebration or protest, but to “pledge allegiance to the leadership” and “support the armed forces.” This scene is not an ordinary “march”; this is the formation of the “Iranian Doctrine.”

    🔹 1. A doctrine that does not fear “infiltration”
    In classical deterrence theories, power was summarized in three components: “military capability,” “resilient economy,” and “strategic alliance with allies.” But what is seen on Iran’s war nights is a fourth component that has disrupted the equations: “the voluntary and repeated presence of the people at the heart of the threat.” This presence, unlike daily political gatherings, occurs in the dead of night and at hours when the enemy’s psychological warfare to convey the “loneliness of the regime” peaks.

    🔹 2. Producing “collective power” at minimal cost
    Every gathering and nightly march multiplies the enemy’s operational costs.
    For Western analysts, calculating the “cost-benefit ratio” of aggression against Iran is no longer based solely on air defense and missiles. The new question is: “Can a territory be occupied where every night at least 10 million people take to the streets as a sign of allegiance to the leadership and the Commander-in-Chief?” This is the “people’s deterrence” that has no place in conventional asymmetric warfare theories.

    🔹 3. Defeat of the “narrative war” in the first hours.
    In the first weeks of the war,
    The think tanks of the Zionist regime had designed three scenarios:
    “Gap between leadership and people”
    “Erosion of armed forces’ morale due to casualties”
    “Wave of economic protests simultaneous with attacks”
    But what happened was the complete opposite of these scenarios. The nightly gatherings turned allegiance to the leadership into a “national shout.”

    🔹 4. From the “Third Imposed War” to the “Enemy’s Forced Peace”
    The enemy entered the war to “impose its will”; but faced the “Iranian Doctrine.” Historical experience has shown that whenever Iran has been able to tie the “people” to the “national security zone,” the equations have shifted in its favor.

    🔹 The Third Imposed War, with “nightly presence,” has displayed a new depth of this doctrine.
    This doctrine sends a clear message to the White House and Kiryat: “No longer can you bring the Islamic Republic to its knees with sanctions, military threats, or psychological operations.”
