Iran is facing a difficult month in January, with painful memories of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani and the inauguration of the US president who ordered it. The fall of Bashar Assad in Syria has added to Iran's woes, as it had invested heavily in keeping him in power.

Iran is being threatened by Israel and the US, who demand an end to regional proxies and nuclear ambitions. The future looks uncertain for Iran and its role in the region.
