Iran war has a ‘second front’ — and Tehran has already lost it

> A few days ago, according to a leaked exchange, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told an Iranian military counterpart that their nation’s economy will face collapse in three more weeks without an immediate cease-fire.

> He’s not wrong.

>Conventional wisdom holds that an air campaign alone cannot trigger a popular uprising, so the combined US-Israel effort in Operation Epic Fury won’t result in meaningful regime change.
> But that fails to recognize there’s a second front in this conflict: economic warfare.

>And on that front, Iran has already lost.
