Snippet: The war that erupted on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched strikes against the Islamic Republic’s military and nuclear infrastructure, marks the collapse of a secular illusion: the belief that a revolutionary Islamic state behaves like a Westphalian bureaucracy, driven by state interest and strategic calculation, rather than pursuing a project that seeks to overturn the existing order.

Snippet: Iran's resilience after more than a month of very heavy US-Israeli bombing has become obvious. The country's somewhat ancient air force and navy have been largely obliterated, and yet all the while the Iranian military has kept up intense ballistic missile and drone strikes on Israel and Gulf states.
