Iran is a pivotal anti-Western ally. Supplying drones & missiles to Russia (currently heavily used in Ukraine) and partnering with China's Belt & Road while countering US influence in Latin America, the Middle East & Asia. Its collapse could fracture the Russia-China-Iran-North Korea-Venezuela "axis of evil" disrupting their joint challenge to the US-led order—far more globally destabilizing than the USSR's Europe-centric fall.
