> After six months of war, Iran’s leadership has consolidated around a hard core of military generals and clerics long embedded in the ruling theocracy. They are preparing for a potentially prolonged confrontation with the US and seeking to prevent unrest at home. The conflict has so far cost about $1,100 for each US taxpayer, far from Donald Trump’s initial hopes of toppling the Islamic Republic.
