The Technological War of the West vs. the East

It is always interesting to discuss the US-Israel war against Iran. This could be explained by how the impression of a West--East war between technological sophistication emerged.
Let us begin by examining respective position. The US-Israel is in top form, with all its sophisticated weaponry, and its prowess has just been tested in Venezuela, where it was defeated without blood or bombs, and Venezuelan President Maduro was immediately arrested by the US.
Their opponent, Iran, is under a 47-year embargo, its economy in ruins, and its currency has reached zero value against the dollar. Domestically, there is resistance from the Kurds and the Reza Pahlavi camp. Iran is in a state of severe decline.
Various diplomatic and psychological pressures continue to be exerted by the US and Israel on Iran, but the leadership of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his ICRG has not yet been defeated. Finally, using sophisticated and measured intelligence, the US--Israel launched a war and directly targeted supreme leader of Iran, and boom! Come on, Ali Khamenei, along with his close confidants and even his grandson, were killed.
The public assumed the war would soon be over and the US President Donald Trump had issued an ultimatum to surrender. But it turns out the loss of the supreme leader did not quickly resolve the issue. The public miscalculated. Instead, the death of supreme leader increased fighting spirit and resistance of Iran. It is a rare formula.
In fact, the true resistance of Iran emerged after the death of its supreme leader. Long-range weaponry struck the Israeli skies, and Israel, with its Iron Dome technology, was able to intercept many of them in the air, but many also hit ground targets.
The surprising one was that Iran deadly targeted of the most advanced US military bases in the Gulf region. The US naval base in Bahrain was destroyed, the most sophisticated defenses in Qatar, its super-expensive radar equipment, and the UAE and Saudi Arabia were all destroyed. All were destroyed by precision strikes at the heart of the sophisticated warfare operations of the US. As a result, the US was forced to rely solely on its aircraft carrier bases and satellites to coordinate the war.
The question is, how could Iran have done this? The internet network had already been disabled. It turns out that Iran had been collaborating with its allies China and Russia on navigational matters long before. Iran relies not on GPS technology, but on Beidou owned by China. When Starlink of Elon Musk was used by the opponents after the internet of Iran was shut down to suppress demonstrations, it was disrupted by Russian interceptors.
Many military observers suspect that behind the mystery, Russia and China are actually providing covert assistance in this war. All war navigation equipment and intelligence information are processed using the technology of these two countries. Attack navigation is entirely guided by Chinese satellites.
The war, which depleted the stockpile of old drones and missiles, is over, borrowing a term from the Iranian Foreign Minister. Now, cluster and hypersonic missile technology are advancing, piquing the curiosity of all nations about their sophistication. These missiles have been tested against Israel, where Iron Dome was no longer able to intercept them. This is because the missiles work when they approach their target, breaking apart into multiple attack points, leaving enemy interceptors confused about which to counter.
On the other hand, when the US claimed to have sunk an Iranian warship near Sri Lankan waters, it was ridiculed because the ship had just participated in a maritime parade in India and was unarmed, and the US attacked it from a submarine. It was not a ship prepared for combat.
How can visibly devastated economy of Iran put up a fight against a superpower? It turns out that Iran has migrated its international economy to bitcoin. All its international transactions are no longer carried out in USD but in bitcoin. This is how international trade of Iran and purchases proceed undetected by the US and its allies. Miscalculating resilience of Iran, which appears weak politically and economically, they are still operating by migrating their transaction base.
We do not know how long Iran will hold out or how much the US and Israel will spend to conquer Iran, which remains unconquered. Iran is indeed under constant bombardment by the US and Israel, and to this day, Iran continues to retaliate by targeting strategic US and Israeli positions in the Gulf region. Similarly, we do not know when US-Israeli troops will land on Iranian soil to take control of the country, or whether they will return home next month due to failure.
Interestingly, despite the attacks, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and others have not joined the attack on Iran. They have chosen to remain in their respective countries, not retaliating. Moreover, the British bases in Cyprus and Kuwait as well as the Saudi Aramco oil refinery initially blamed on Iran, has now been proven to be false flag propaganda, meaning it was not done by Iran. This is also one of the reasons why Britain was reluctant to join Trump in the war.
But what is certain is that all of this seems to demonstrate the technological battle between asymmetric offensive warfare of Western technology represented by the US and Israel, and Eastern technology represented by Iran and China.
Meanwhile, Russia is located from the West to the East, from St. Petersburg, in the West, to Vladivostok, in the East. And all countries around the world are learning from this battle to make their domestic defense policies. (*)
