Summary

The Iran war is shaped by structural forces: the regime's internal coalition, the Strait of Hormuz as an economic chokepoint, decades-old proxy networks, and the constraints any escalation imposes on Washington, Tel Aviv, and the Gulf capitals.

Fronts covers the Iran war as a system. Not headlines and not awareness, but the analytical frame underneath: who actually mobilizes force, how the regime finances itself under maximum pressure, what limits escalation, and where the next pressure points sit.
