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.

A history of ‘unrealized’ peaks
The idea of oil supply peaking, or so-called peak oil, surfaced as early as the 1880s, with some predicting a looming exhaustion in the US due to the demise of the Pennsylvania oil fields. US and global oil production, however, was still increasing over 70 years later, when the ‘peak oil theory’ of geologist Marion King Hubbert gained traction in 1956.
