The US has just chosen asymmetrical war with Iran. But can it win?
From our UK edition
The Iranians are masters of asymmetrical warfare, masters at playing the grey areas. After the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, there will be a response. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow: the Iranians will be very calculated. The response could be in Iraq, which runs the risk of being a battlefield in a proxy war. Or it could be against American targets almost anywhere: think back, and we have even seen operations by Iranian backed-groups for example in Bangkok. If this does get out of hand, it's going to take a lot of work to try and manage this conflict. We could see emotions stirred across Asia, particularly in Muslim countries, including countries like Malaysia and Indonesia.
