  • Following a dramatic few months, 2025 is not looking up for Iran, with Trump's return to the White House and women's resistance at home.

The article from MSN discusses the potential future scenarios for Iran in 2025, focusing on its political, economic, and social landscapes. It highlights the ongoing tensions with the West, particularly the United States, over Iran's nuclear program, which remains a significant point of contention despite the 2015 nuclear deal's collapse. Iran's economy continues to suffer from sanctions, leading to high inflation and unemployment, which could fuel further public discontent. Socially, there's a growing divide between the conservative establishment and a younger, more liberal population pushing for reforms, especially in terms of women's rights and internet freedom. The article also speculates on the succession of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose health is reportedly declining, which could lead to a power struggle or a shift in policy direction. Additionally, Iran's regional influence through proxy groups in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen might either stabilize or further complicate its international relations. The piece concludes by suggesting that while Iran's future is uncertain, the interplay of these factors will critically shape its trajectory in 2025.
