#Iran

Following the leaders of Syria and Venezuela, another despotic regime has been left without its head — Iran. Ali Khamenei was killed in missile strikes, a fact confirmed by the remaining leadership in the country. The trio of nations had been “good” friends of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but his circle of allies is shrinking before his eyes.

Is the world’s most advanced air defense shield becoming its biggest financial liability? As Iran launches a historic wave of ballistic strikes across the Middle East, a new crisis is emerging—not from the impact of the missiles, but from the cost of stopping them.
