Iran Prepares to RESIST as Hezbollah Joins the WAR: Who WINS and LOSES? @Visualpolitiken

Why It Matters

The decapitation of Iran’s leadership increases the risk of prolonged kinetic operations and regional escalation, while disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten global shipping and energy markets. Continued US–Israeli strikes combined with pressure for internal uprising could both degrade Iran’s military capabilities and reshape geopolitical alignments in the Middle East.

Summary

A US–Israeli campaign reportedly decapitated Iran’s top leadership, including Supreme Leader Khamenei and senior military commanders, prompting Tehran to install an interim leadership council led by President Masoud Pazeshkian and senior clerics. Despite vows of massive revenge and sporadic missile and drone launches — including strikes near an aircraft carrier and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz — Iran’s responses have so far been fragmented and limited. Washington and Jerusalem say they will press harder, continuing precision strikes to cripple Iran’s missile, nuclear and military infrastructure while encouraging internal unrest. The strike has reshaped the negotiating landscape, with Iranian figures privately signaling willingness to resume talks even as public rhetoric remains bellicose.
