Revolution to resurgence — Iran’s strategic moment
The article argues that Iran is experiencing a "second revolution" or resurgence, emerging stronger and more defiant after recent conflicts with the US and Israel. It highlights the regime's consolidation of power, renewed national pride, potential economic revival due to easing sanctions, and a significant shift in the regional security landscape. This transformation forces countries, including India, to re-evaluate their diplomatic strategies and alliances in the Middle East.
