Israel-US Iran War: 'War Beyond Kinetics,' Says ... Rajan Kochhar on The Narrative War | Trump

Retired Indian Army Maj Gen Rajan Kochhar (VSM) dissects the opaque US-Israel-Iran war entering its 27th day, where battlefield transparency is absent amid dueling strategic communications from Washington and Tehran.

He highlights perception management in this narrative battle, Pakistan's desperate mediation push due to economic woes and shared borders, and Trump's "game of chicken" tactics, including a 10-day strike pause and unyielding China visit, to force Iran to the table.

Gen Kochhar critiques India's foreign policy for unbalanced stances, urging a rethink on Iran ties amid Strait of Hormuz risks, while asserting US has inflicted "unimaginable" damage on Iranian infrastructure despite ongoing missile exchanges. Essential viewing for insights into psychological warfare, game theory, and South Asia's stakes in the escalating Middle East crisis.
