Donald Trump announced that he will make the decision on an possible attack on Iran within two weeks. “Two -week terms” have become the subject of mockery in the international arena. Vladimir Putin received such an almost four weeks ago. Now it was Iran's turn. To the American national holiday on July 4, the US President is to decide whether to send B-2 bombers towards Iran or not.
The world holds his breath. And Iran takes positions. After the first week of the war, in which at least 657 people were killed in the Mulłów state, and over 2000 were injured, the regime is weakened, but in no case is defeated. Iran has several advantages up his sleeve that can be dangerous for the entire international community.
Iran has a terrifying rocket arsenal, which compensates for his outdated, unable to act, consisting largely of American and Soviet aircraft from the 70s. Israel claims that it has destroyed about 40 percent. Rockets during raids. However, Iran still does not stop in the fire: this week, the mules for the first time fired one of their 13-meter medium-sized rockets of the Chorramjhr-4. From the outbreak of the conflict a week ago they fired about 370 rockets towards Israel.
In addition, there are strongly armed organizations financed by Iran in other countries: Huti in Yemen, Hamas in the Gaza Strip or Hezbollah in Lebanon. The latter could pull Israel into a difficult war on many fronts through a coordinated attack from the north.

However, Iranian “Axis of Resistance”, as Tehran calls his network of allies, “suffered seriously as a result of Israeli attacks in recent months,” says Marcel Berni, an expert from the Military Academy at the Federal University of Technology in Zurich. – Hezbollah and Hamas are weakened. Huti still remain, but they are also weakened after American attacks – he notes.
According to Bernie, even allied states, such as China and Russia, are currently rather passive. In his opinion, it is likely that Iran may incite allied militias in Syria and Iraq to attack the American military bases.
Terrorist attacks and cyber attacks
The Iranian regime also does not retreat from brutal terrorist attacks. In 1994, Iran conducted a bombing on an Israeli tourist bus in Bulgaria. In 2012, the bombers from Hezbollah killed 85 people visiting the Jewish center in Buenos Aires. In recent years, the Israeli Intelligence Agency Mosad and the American CIA They thwarted several more Iranian attacks.

The Iranians are trampling Israeli and American flags during the anti -Irish manifestation in Tehran, Iran, June 20, 2025.
For example, Saudi Aramco, for example, found out that Iran has significant abilities in the field of cyber war. In 2012, Iranian hackers deleted data from 300,000 Saudi Oil Giant computers. The following year, they briefly took control of the water barrier in New York. In 2020, they attacked the Israeli water treatment system. According to observers, you can expect more such attacks at any time.
Economic “superbroń”
Iranian rockets and drones can reach goals throughout the Middle East, and cyber attacks and terrorist attacks of this country pose a threat to the whole world. Like his economic superbroń: Tehran can close the Strait of the Ormus at any time.
About one -fifth of world oil production is transported through the strait between the southern coast of Iran and the Persian Gulf. Iranian naval mines, exploding motor boats and submarines can attack any ship floating on this route. The strait lock would cause a rapid increase in oil prices (and of course gasoline) and a deficiency of this still important raw material. Observers assume that such a oil crisis could turn into a global recession.
The Iranian regime can be weakened by Israel's attack. However, the decades of economic and diplomatic insulation have taught this huge country how to remain dangerous even from the position of weakness. It remains to be hoped that Donald Trump will not forget about it during his considerations in the next two (or four) weeks.
