Iran stands at a historical crossroads: The Hormuz War, economic collapse, and future choices
Iran is facing an unprecedented crisis, as the conflict has entered its 12th day since the United States and Israel launched the 'Epic Fury' joint military operation on February 28. This war has not only destroyed Iran's missile and naval capabilities but has also led to the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with new leader Mojtaba Khamenei coming to power.
