The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Military Operations A Warning Bell for International Humanitarian Law
n 9 Esfand 1404 (March 1 2026) the United States and Israel launched joint aggressive operations against Iran. This military operation was rapidly labeled as the first AI-based war. Reports indicate that the U.S. Army used Anthropic’s Claude tool to strike approximately 1000 targets in the first 24 hours. This AI system significantly assisted in war planning by optimizing target selection analyzing intelligence data and determining precise coordinates through satellite imagery. The use of the Claude system is part of the Pentagon’s Maven Smart System project.

A Re-reading of the Idea of the End of Pan-Arabism
The contemporary Middle East cannot be explained through twentieth-century identity concepts. Transnational projects that once claimed to define the Arab world have now given way to the strict logic of the nation-state and security competition. In this context the idea formulated by Fawaz Ajami former dean of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University and a figure close to American neoconservatives in his late 1980s article in Foreign Affairs titled The End of Pan-Arabism is now not merely a historical interpretation but an analytical framework for understanding the current regional situation—a situation in which Arab identity no longer has the capacity to organize regional politics having been replaced by a scattered network of security-oriented states.

Why the “Regime Change” Agenda for Iran is an Illusion
During President Trumps first term John Bolton then US National Security Advisor denied that the Trump administration looked for “regime change” in Iran. Even at that time many interpreted Trumps violation of the JCPOA as a policy shift toward that purpose and even “going to war with Iran”. “Regime change” as a policy option toward Iran has always existed in Washington during the past four decades. For various domestic regional and global reasons it is nothing more than a costly illusion. Why?

Foreign Policy of Donald Trump: Power-centric Nationalism in the Era of Declining Liberal Order
The rise of Donald Trump in U.S. foreign policy cannot be reduced simply to a miscalculation by partisan elites or the temporary dissatisfaction of the middle class. Trump’s foreign policy reflects an accumulated crisis of U.S. hegemony and a deep gap between America’s material capabilities and its extensive commitments in the international order. From this perspective Trump’s foreign policy is not a “deviation from the norm” but an alternative formulation of American power under conditions of relative decline.
