The Power of Weakness: Iran Is Down but Far from Out
עוצמת החולשה
Summary
Despite taking military blows, Iran entered this conflict prepared and continues to hold the world hostage through its leverage over global energy markets. The article warns that boastful declarations by too many leaders — including Israeli ones — are undermining the war effort by creating unrealistic expectations of a swift victory. The author argues that Iran's apparent weakness masks a strategic resilience that should not be underestimated.
