“What you are seeing is very much what looks like the suppression fire.” The latest US strikes on Iran have focused on bombing defences on the Iranian coast, such as radar sites and anti shipping, which would be important in suppressing attacks from US Marines or the 82nd Airborne Division, says professor of political science at the University of Chicago Professor Robert Pape.
