- Iranian authorities remain defiant 100 days into the US‑Israel war, with no lasting resolution in sight and civilians bearing the brunt of conflict.
- Tehran shops are open but see fewer customers; traffic is partially restored, yet millions of jobs have been suspended or eliminated after protests, aerial bombardment and two internet shutdowns.
- Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly wounded in the US‑Israeli strikes that killed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and has not been seen publicly since assuming the supreme leadership.
- Iranian parliament has largely been closed, holding only limited or online sessions amid concerns over assassinations and intelligence leaks.
- Pro‑government messaging featuring Hezbollah flags and “axis of resistance” slogans is displayed on banners and billboards across Iran.
Why it matters: Iranian civilians lose livelihoods as millions of jobs vanish, while the regime’s continued defiance sustains its grip on power and fuels further economic isolation and pressures regional trade routes.
