Iran Strategically Hollowed Out Despite Persistent Regime

Analysis suggests that while Iran's regime persists, its strategic capabilities are severely compromised with its nuclear program, missile arsenal, proxy network, and economy all badly damaged. This assessment challenges the narrative that the U.S. is losing the war, arguing instead that the conflict has successfully degraded Iran's long-term power projection. The broader implication is that the U.S. may be in a stronger position to dictate terms in future negotiations than previously acknowledged.
