The war in Iran is entering a more dangerous phase.
Inside the Trump administration in Washington, a high-profile resignation over the conflict. Inside Iran, senior leadership targeted and killed. But the biggest risk isn’t the strikes, it’s what comes next.

The fundamental challenge: removing a regime from the air is far easier said than done.
