Iran's 'Mosaic Defence' Adapts to IDF Air Campaign: Decapitation or Resilience?

• IDF's "decapitation strikes" target Iranian leadership, causing operational shock but not structural collapse.
• Iran's "Mosaic Defence" doctrine decentralizes authority, allowing adaptation to leadership losses and air superiority.
• IRGC personnel abandon headquarters for improvised facilities, a pragmatic adaptation to reduce visibility.
• IDF destroys 85% of Iran's SAM inventory, but remaining 15% and MANPADS still pose a lethal threat.
• Strikes on Caspian Sea ports disrupt maritime supply lines, potentially pushing trade to harder-to-monitor land routes.
