EXCLUSIVE ANALYSIS

Trump’s Art of War and Global Power in Venezuela

We’re making yesterday’s main story open to all readers — our must-read breakdown of President Trump’s historic military operation in Venezuela.

ASK THE EDITORS

A revolution in Iran

Q: The uprising in Iran seems to be more than just a protest. They are calling for the “death of the supreme leader” and chanting “long live King Reza” (i.e., the crown prince) in a bid to overthrow the Islamic regime.

Is this the beginning of an actual revolution? Or will the people be suppressed yet again by the Islamic Republican Guard and imported proxy (Hezbollah and Hamas) violence? — Gideon

A: If these protests were occurring in isolation, they might be easy to dismiss. Iran has faced mass demonstrations before — larger ones — and the regime endured.

What sets this moment apart is Washington’s response. President Trump has openly backed the protesters, pledging to “come to their rescue” if the regime cracks down. Coming after the successful Maduro operation, that signal carries credibility. It could draw more Iranians into the streets and make the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hesitate before using force.

The regional context also raises the stakes. Israeli officials fear Tehran could strike Israel to rally support, while Israel may see Iran’s internal strain as a chance to act.

Anything can happen: collapse, war, or nothing. But what is clear is that the Iranian regime is highly fragile at a moment when its most powerful adversary, the United States, is its most assertive under President Trump.
