Analysis: A Battered Iran Faces an Uncertain Future After Its Grinding War with Israel

  • Iran and Israel clashed in a 12-day war marked by Israeli airstrikes that heavily damaged Iran's Revolutionary Guard and depleted its ballistic missiles, but the bombing has quieted.
  • The conflict followed Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack and occurred amid longstanding tensions including Iran's controversial enrichment of uranium to 60% and unresolved economic and political crises.
  • Iran's leadership, with Supreme Leader Khamenei surviving and retreating into isolation, must now rebuild amid deep distrust, growing calls for nuclear armament, and a battered economy worsened by sanctions and past protests.
  • Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi condemned the war and authoritarian regime, calling for a ceasefire and criticizing Khamenei's policies, while U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said future negotiations are promising and "We're already talking to each other."
  • The war has weakened Iran's military and political structure and may push its government toward more military rule, while Iran’s nuclear program rebuilding in secrecy could take months or years, signaling regional instability ahead.
