Hawzah News Agency- A former British intelligence chief has suggested that Iran currently holds a strategic advantage in its ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel, even as hostilities continue to escalate across the region.

“In practice, Iran has been more resilient than I think anyone would have expected.
