America Iran Attack Plan: The Russia-Ukraine war has not even ended yet and the sounds of another war are beginning to be heard. Israel has been engaged in efforts for regime change in Iran for a long time. America has also wanted the same, but a suitable opportunity and suitable leadership was needed. America launched a special operation in Venezuela and ousted President Maduro and arrested him. In such an environment, America and Israel now have a good opportunity to overthrow Khamenei’s Islamic government by conducting a special operation against Iran. On the other hand, there is also a strong and decisive leadership like Donald Trump. In such a situation, the question arises that if America starts a campaign to overthrow the current regime in Iran, then which weapon systems can be used? The joint attack by America and Israel on Iran in the year 2025 gives some indications of this.

Amidst the increasing tension between America and Iran, ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’, which took place in June 2025, gave a new direction to the global security equations. In this operation, America made operational use of its most powerful non-nuclear bunker buster weapon for the first time. Now if President Donald Trump approves a new military operation on Iran in the year 2026, then the US military can take the help of state-of-the-art stealth technology, long-range precision weapons and secret cyber capabilities to disable Iran’s Russian-made advanced air defense systems.

B-2 Spirit stealth bomber

The US Air Force’s B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is considered the backbone of any strategic attack. In the June 2025 attacks, 7 B-2 bombers flew an 18-hour non-stop flight from Missouri, USA, and attacked targets in Iran. GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) weighing 30 thousand pounds was dropped from these aircraft, which is capable of penetrating concrete and rocks up to 200 feet. This weapon is considered capable of destroying deep underground nuclear bases like Ford. In a possible operation in the year 2026, stealth fighter jets like F-35 Lightning-II and F-22 Raptor can also be deployed along with B-2, which can blind the Iranian radar system like ‘digital sniper’ and clear the way for heavy bombers.

tomahawk missile

The US Navy relies on the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) for attacks from the sea. These missiles can be fired from guided missile submarines like the USS Georgia or the new Virginia class submarines from hundreds of miles away. Flying very close to the ground surface, these missiles can target ballistic missile factories and command centers in Isfahan or Natanz. During a possible attack in 2026, the Navy could deploy the Block-V Tomahawk, which has advanced anti-ship capabilities and the ability to change targets in flight.

cyber war

Along with physical weapon systems, cyber and electronic warfare will also be an important part of this strategy. The US Central Command is emphasizing on shutting down Iran’s digital military infrastructure, air defense network and drone command system. Under this, Iran’s retaliatory capability can be weakened through electronic jamming and cyber attacks. Besides, satellite network can also be secured to maintain communication in case of internet blackout.

AI defense system

For regional security, America has deployed Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems in Israel and Qatar. These systems are connected to a new AI-based Air Defense Coordination Cell established at Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base, which is capable of tracking and destroying Iranian ballistic missiles in the air. Additionally, standoff missiles like the AGM-158 JASSM-ER can deliver precision strikes from a distance, allowing US aircraft to remain out of range of Iranian air defenses. Overall, if the US takes military action against Iran in 2026, it could go beyond conventional war and be a comprehensive display of technology, cyber capabilities and AI-based defense that could decisively impact the security picture of the Middle East.
