How Iran's 'axis of resistance' is crumbling

Описание: Iran was once feared as a regional powerbroker with allies spanning from Gaza and Lebanon to Syria, Iraq and Yemen. But with each of Tehran's supported groups struggling or eliminated entirely, has Iran been left isolated in its conflict with Israel? Hezbollah has been weakened by Israeli assassinations, including the killing of Hassan Nasrallah. The Houthis face ongoing US, Israeli and Saudi targeting. Bashar al-Assad's regime has fallen in Syria. Hamas remains under constant bombardment in Gaza. With many of Iran's scientists and military leaders killed, nuclear facilities destroyed, and proxies unable to assist, the once-powerful "axis of resistance" appears to be crumbling. As the US President warns Tehran residents to evacuate and Israel controls the skies over the Iranian capital, the question remains: will there be a domino effect leading to Iran's complete isolation?
