| Sumario: | Iran presents the most serious single security challenge in the Middle East. Its actions pose a critical potential threat to a region that dominates the world's export of oil, gas, and petroleum products and help shape the ideological struggles within Islam. Its capabilities for asymmetric and proxy warfare have steadily expanded its power and influence in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Afghanistan. Iran has also succeeded in building ties to hard-line Palestinian movements such as Hamas. This study assesses Iran's current military capabilities and presents a risk analysis approach for the future. |
