The Islamic Republic of Iran has emerged as a leading adopter of artificial intelligence (AI) for warfare, deception, and repression, employing a coherent five-pronged strategy that the United States is currently unprepared to counter. Iran weaponizes AI to enhance cyber operations against American targets, utilizing large language models for social engineering and developing novel malware, thereby reducing the time, talent, and language barriers for simultaneous attacks. Furthermore, Iran is integrating Russian AI advancements to make its Shahed-136 drones more lethal, particularly through AI-generated flight plans to evade air defenses. Tehran has also bombed American AI data centers in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, recognizing AI's foundational role in America's wartime advantage. Finally, Iran leverages AI-generated propaganda, including deepfakes, to manipulate war narratives globally.
