[Former CIA Director Criticizes US Military for Failing to Fully Utilize Technological Advantage] According to the UAE media outlet *The Nation*, former commander of US Central Command, former CIA director, and current Army General David Petraeus stated that the Pentagon's failure to develop a strategy to fully utilize its technological advantage has weakened the US military's original technological superiority. In a strongly worded speech to the House of Lords in London, he stated that while the US "remains the most dynamic innovation ecosystem in the world," he questioned whether the US is transforming its military "to take advantage of these innovations" at a sufficiently rapid pace. He pointed out that although the US possesses overwhelmingly advanced weaponry, it has failed to compel Iran to accept its terms. The US has not yet developed the "revolutionary new warfare concept" needed to utilize current technology. The war with Iran has once again led to fighting throughout the region, exposing the limitations of the US's superior military strength, especially when operational objectives are unclear.
