Iran was prepared to inflict casualties to the US troops in Ain Al-Assad base

The Iranian attacks showed that the United States should work to increase the level of security and the deterrence value of its forces by strengthening its defense force. American bases in the Middle East countries need air defense systems to face conventional missile strikes.


Regardless if Iran was prepared to inflict casualties or not, its leadership have realized that the chances of Americans being killed were high, but it was ready to carry out the strike anyway.


The increase in Iran's air defense capacity, as the accidental shooting down of the Ukrainian plane after Ain Al-Assad strike, indicates that Iran believed that the American response was a strong possibility. The fact that Iran had no intention of killing US forces is inaccurate because its leadership believed that the benefits of strike outweighed the consequences.


The CSIS Center for Strategic and International Studies (a research institute in the United States) said, "The strike in Ain al-Assad changed Iran thinks way." Until recently, Iran has largely targeted US allies and interests through proxy groups. When Iran targeted, Ain al-Assad directly, the Iranians acted publicly and threw more than 17,000 pounds of powerful explosives on US forces. This indicates that American deterrence in the region has diminished. "


“The unfortunate fact is that this event has dire consequences for the deterrent situation of the United States and has brought Iran and the United States closer to war. Although US forces need more defenses, these defenses are insufficient to maintain the peace,” the institute added : "Deterrence in the region does not happen overnight but requires consistent guidance and sufficient time. "


At the end of this institute’s article, it was stated: "Almost nobody in the United States, including Trump, wants a war with Iran. If Iran killed US forces in that attack, the pressure on Trump to take more action would have been great. In other words, the two sides are lucky because the attacks on Ain al-Assad did not kill anyone
