Today wars across nations are fought and won not based on physical strengths, or the numbers of combatants, but rather on technological war weapons using AI-enabled devices This work takes a critical look at the ongoing war between United States-Israeli and Iran by examining the various modern war weapons deployed by both warring factions. US-Israeli lunched a coordinated attacks on Iran on the 28 of February, 2026. This led to the loss of life of the Iran supreme leader and other officers. They described their strike on Iran as Operation Epic Fury. Iran, on the hand had responded with their Fattah-2 hypersonic missile on the gulf states targeting US facilities for destruction.
