The Islamic Republic cries it is winning the war, a triumph of delusion over debris.
Its old supreme leader is dead; its new one is, at best, hiding, if alive. Hundreds of its IRGC, intelligence, military, and Basij commanders are dead. Their replacements seem to have mastered the regime’s new doctrine: disappear.
Iran’s skies are lost. Its economy is in ruins. Oil revenue is choked off. Millions are out of work. The currency is collapsing.
Yet, Tehran calls this a victory.
