In Part Six of Irregular Warfare Initiative’s special series examining the unfolding conflict with Iran, Gianni Koskinas (CEO, Hoplite Group), Hamlet Yousef (IWI Economic & Legal Warfare Advisor), and Ed Bogan (Founder, Institute for the Study of States of Exception) analyze how innovation and industrial capacity are reshaping the fundamentals of warfare. Moderated by Jackie Giunta of Irregular Warfare Initiative’s Engagements team, the discussion focuses on the growing role of private sector technologies, lessons emerging from Ukraine, and the leveling effect of autonomy across the battlefield.
The panel also examines how contested communications, compressed OODA loops, and supply chain vulnerabilities are shifting the advantage from platforms to systems. For those seeking to understand where real leverage is being generated—and how these dynamics may shape what comes next—this session provides a more grounded and strategic lens.
