The Narrative: The Axis frames this as a struggle for "Regional Sovereignty" against a final attempt at Western hegemony, banking on the endurance of their underground infrastructure.

Future Outlook

Urban Escalation: If strikes on Tehran continue to produce high civilian casualties, expect Iran to transition from targeting military/oil sites to direct strikes on Gulf business hubs (e.g., Downtown Dubai, Manama).

Economic Rupture: A prolonged blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will likely trigger a global recession, potentially forcing international intervention beyond the current coalition.

Regime Continuity: The inability of the IRGC to select a new Supreme Leader due to continuous strikes on the Assembly of Experts suggests a looming internal power struggle within the Iranian military apparatus.
