Iran Faces Economic Challenges and Military Threats

Iran is facing a critical period marked by mounting domestic unrest and escalating external military threats. Recent protests, though smaller than previous uprisings, have shaken the government, which appears unable or unwilling to address the economic collapse fueling public anger. International tensions have intensified, with the United States and Israel issuing strong warnings and taking military action against Iran's allies, further pressuring Tehran's leadership.

The government has responded to the unrest with force and emergency meetings, but officials privately admit to being in 'survival mode' with few viable solutions. Economic reforms have been limited and ineffective, while sanctions and mismanagement continue to cripple the country. As protests spread and turn violent in some areas, calls for significant political change are growing, and the risk of further conflict with foreign powers remains high.
