The U.S. sees an Iran that should surrender. Khamenei sees surrender as a path to regime collapse. Wikistrat's latest webinar with Dr. Raz Zimmt unpacks the collision of worldviews driving the crisis toward military confrontation, and what a U.S. strike would mean for the regime, the opposition, Hezbollah, and the Gulf states.

The January 2026 protests followed a familiar cycle: crowds in the streets, a brutal crackdown, an internet blackout, then quiet. Wikistrat's latest report explores why Iran's opposition remains unable to convert deep public anger into lasting political leverage.

Wikistrat's 10th Annual NYU Riskathon simulation brought together 105 analysts from 22 countries to map global risks for 2026-2030. Key findings include AI-driven misinformation threats, aging autocrat succession risks, critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, and rare earth supply chain dependencies.
