Analysis of the War on Iran
SHANA (Tehran) –The 12-day war imposed by the Tel Aviv regime against Iran on 13 June 2025, targeting mainly nuclear and military installations in addition to infrastructure, constitutes one of the most complicated geopolitical crises of recent decades. Iran responded forcefully to the strikes. Although the United States initially refused to engage in the war, there was no doubt from the very beginning that it was the main ally of the Zionist regime in this crisis. That is why, when it was convinced that Iran had the upper hand on the battlefield, the US intervened and bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. It is highly significant to review the Zionist regime and the US objectives and scenarios in the war on Iran.
