Modern War #2: Oil War Iran Strikes

The explanations offered over the past decade by pundits and analysts as to the motivation behind the Iranian drive to get nuclear weapons have been centred around two themes. First, it's been said the regime in Tehran wants "the bomb" simply to have a sure way of staving off a US conventional invasion aimed at regime change (witness the success of nuclear North Korea in that regard). Second, given the professed belief of many in that regime in the cult of the 12th Imam, some have said detonating an atomic bomb, either locally or in the skies above Israel, would serve as the needed "chaos" ingredient that the, according to that cult's beliefs, calls forth the return of the lost Imam along with soon thereafter, the Prophet Mohammed himself, in what then becomes the Moslem version of the "Ends of Days."

Without commenting on the validity of either of those explanations, this near-future what-if wargame offers up and examines a third strategic alternative, one that's become increasingly plausible in light of the ongoing drawdown of US conventional military strength in the Middle East. That is, just as it did in Cold War Europe, the prospect of both sides having nuclear weapons in this zone of confrontation may work to create a deterrent umbrella that, at least for some short time, could allow for a swift, yet potentially decisive, conventional war to go on underneath the threat of "mutually assured destruction." In the period from roughly 1953 through 1989, it was hypothesized the Soviets might use the MAD factor to send the Red Army blitzing across Germany to the Rhine and, then, having gotten that far before the West could decide to go nuclear, make an offer for a ceasefire and negotiations. The negotiations would then result either in the diplomatic certification of the newly acquired territory by the aggressor or, if a withdrawal did follow, the wreckage caused in the invasion would effectively remove the overrun area as a platform for operations against the USSR for some time, possibly decades, while also neutralizing its economic value.

This game is therefore set in a timeframe of near future - 2013 through 2017 - in which the Iranians may indeed have developed some kind of military nuclear capability. At that same time, with the "War of Terror" likely having slithered to some kind of indecisive end by then, and the US therefore likely fallen back into another post-Vietnam-funk-type "isolationist" phase the possibility for a blitz-style Iranian victory - aimed at fully establishing and certifying Tehran as the unchallengeable hegemon of the Gulf region - moves to the fore. The game's scenario can also be taken as a model of a possible Iranian reply to a US and/or Israeli precision aerial campaign targeted against their nuclear development facilities.

This wargame, then, examines the strategic possibilities and parameter inherent in the opening Iranian offensive of such a war. There are no rules for the use of nuclear weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction. The situation is on such a hair trigger in relation to that aspect of things, if one such weapon were to go off, many more detonations would be certain to follow. The idea for Tehran would be to gain a victory without resorting to "game changing" WMD.
