The Iranian military is rapidly adjusting its tactics in response to the evolving conflict, a development acknowledged by U.S. military officials, according to the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.

The publication reports that since the confrontation began, Tehran has significantly revised the way it conducts military operations. In earlier episodes, Iran often issued advance warnings and limited its responses to largely symbolic strikes. Now, however, the pattern appears to have changed. Attacks have become more precise and increasingly aimed at vulnerable components of the American military infrastructure.

According to the report, Iranian strikes are focusing on air defense systems, radar installations, and communication networks — critical elements that the United States relies on to protect both its forces and its regional allies.

Analysts are particularly concerned about another element of Iran’s evolving strategy: an apparent effort to wear down U.S. interceptor missile reserves. The newspaper notes that Tehran is deploying large numbers of inexpensive one-way drones along with older missile systems. This approach forces the United States to use far more costly interceptor weapons to neutralize the threats.

At the same time, Iran appears to be holding back its more advanced capabilities. Modern weapons systems, including hypersonic missiles, are reportedly being kept in reserve rather than used in the current wave of attacks.
