Abstract

The Iran-Israel war, launched on June 13, 2025, marked a historic intelligence failure for the Islamic Republic. Israel’s surprise offensive devastated Iran’s military leadership and exposed deep systemic flaws in its counterintelligence apparatus. The strategic collapse of the regime now raises urgent questions about its survivability and the necessity of regime change.
