From west Asia war showing Iran's resilience to India's defence strategy, in this episode of Line of Defence, Lt Gen PJS Pannu (Retd), former Army Commander, Fire & Fury Corps, breaks down what the Iran conflict really means for India’s security landscape. He explains how Iran’s long-term preparation, decentralised warfare, and resilience have allowed it to absorb sustained strikes, highlighting a key lesson: wars today are about endurance, not quick victories. From cyber and space warfare to drones, air defence, and the two-front challenge posed by China and Pakistan, this conversation explores how modern conflicts are reshaping strategy and why India must prepare for surprises, not assumptions.
