The Iran War (A Day On)

Military

When we hear about war in the news, we usually focus on missiles, airstrikes, and military movements. But I started wondering about something else — what actually happens in the first 24 hours after a war begins?

How do governments react?
What happens to ordinary people in cities like Tehran?
And how quickly does the rest of the world respond politically and economically?

I recently wrote a short piece exploring what the first day of a war with Iran might look like, not just militarily but socially and globally as well.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts — what do you think is the biggest change that happens in the first day of a war?
