Editorial: Middle East on the boilA key risk arising from the current political vacuum in Iran is that the militant Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps may take overBy Telangana Today Published Date - 2 March 2026, 01:12 AMAn already volatile Middle East region has waded into an uncharted territory of utter chaos and political vacuum following a joint blitzkrieg by the United States and Israel targeting Iran.
