The Reborn Lion of Persia

Three thousand years ago, Cyrus the Great set out from this plateau and established the first empire in human history that spanned three continents. Three thousand years later, this country has been tightened by sanctions, its hands and feet have been cut off by assassinations, and its spine has been shattered by air strikes. Lin Yuan, a Chinese doctoral student studying the failure of Iran's strategy, died suddenly at his desk while writing the last word of his thesis. When he opened his eyes again, he became Mujtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's supreme leader, the man known as the power behind the robe. The time is January 2024. There are still three months until the Damascus consulate is bombed. There are still seven months until Haniye is assassinated in Tehran. There were still nine months until Nasrallah was killed. There are still seventeen months until the Twelve-Day War destroys Iran's nuclear facilities. There were still twenty-five months before his father was killed in a US-Israeli air strike. The title of his paper is - The Fall of the Persian Empire: A Study of Iran's Strategic Failure 2024-2030. Now, he wants to personally rewrite every conclusion of this paper.
