What is the reason the Iranian regime is holding out, contrary to expectations that it would collapse if its financial lifelines were choked? Appearing on SBS <Discovery of Knowledge>, Professor In Nam-shik of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy explained that amidst the shock of the leadership being decimated by an invading enemy, the public is rallying together instead, and that despite severe economic hardship, there is no anti-government leader to spearhead protests.

Check out the video to see what kind of impact this war will bring, extending beyond the Middle East to shake the global order.
