Enmity against God

Iran could threaten ~21% of global oil supply via one strait.

The Strait of Hormuz — just 21 miles wide at its narrowest — is the world's most critical oil chokepoint. Iran has repeatedly threatened to close it during past tensions, a move that could spike global energy prices overnight.

Iran's IRGC was created in 1979 to bypass the regular military!

Ayatollah Khomeini founded the Revolutionary Guard weeks after the Islamic Revolution to ensure loyalty to clerical rule. Today it controls militias across Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, with an estimated 125,000 active personnel.

Iran's rial lost over 80% of its value after 2018 sanctions.

When the U.S. reimposed sanctions in 2018, Iran's currency collapsed and inflation soared past 40%. Economists link severe economic hardship directly to rising public frustration and the wave of anti-regime protests that followed.
