“In 2017, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) began to produce a series of unclassified Defense Intelligence overviews of the major foreign military challenges facing the United States. This volume provides details on Iran’s defense and military goals, strategy, plans, and intentions; the organization, structure, and capability of its military supporting those goals; and the enabling infrastructure and industrial base. This product and other reports in the series are intended to inform our public, our leaders, the national security community, and partner nations about the challenges we face in the 21st century.”

The document topics include an introduction and historical overview to the Shah’s Amy and the Guardians of the Revolution, a national military overview (threat perceptions, security strategy, stability issues, external defense relations, defense budget and nuclear program), Iranian military doctrine/strategy (leadership, institutions, command and control), and core Iranian capabilities (ballistic missiles, aera denial, unconventional operations, expeditionary operations, cyberspace, intelligence, space/counterspace, chemical/biological, undergroud facilities).
