The war with Iran will likely end with one of two outcomes,each leading the Middle East down a very different path.
Either the US-Israeli campaign will devastate the Iranian regime to the point where the Iranian people rise up and change the regime, or the conflict will end without a decisive outcome and the regime will somehow manage to survive.

3 Stages of the Eurofed-Psyop
The 3 Stages of the Eurofed-Psyop
🔶 Stage 1: Genuine Pan-Europeanism (c. 2020–2024)

🔶 Stage 2: NAFO/EuroFed Rebranding (2024–2025)
After Trump’s election and the U.S. pullback from the Ukraine war, pro-EU...

While the exact trajectory would depend on how the regime ends, analysts broadly agree that its fall would remove the single most destabilizing force in the region.
Inside Iran, the end of clerical rule would dismantle the ideological system built around unelected religious authority. The...
