In the weak-turbulence limit in which three-wave interactions dominate, analytical and high-resolution numerical results based on random scattering of shear-Alfv\\'en waves propagating parallel to a large-scale magnetic field, as well as direct simulations demonstrate rigorously an anisotropic energy spectrum that scales as $k^{-2}_\\perp$, instead of the famous Iroshnikov-Kraichnan (IK) spectrum of $k^{-3/2}$ for the isotropic case.
