“The situation in Iran is dire” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. But in the short run Iran’s health crisis may strengthen the ruling ayatollahs’ grip on power, said Ilan Berman, senior vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council. In the long run, the effects of the illness could stimulate a shift in power, though not necessarily toward a less dictatorial regime. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s government claims approximately 4,500 to 5,000 Iranians have died from COVID-19,

The coronavirus pandemic has done what U.S. and U.N. sanctions have not been able to do. It has forced North Korea “to shut off almost all outside trade,” David Maxwell (Col., Ret., U.S. Army) told participants on a Jewish Policy Center conference call April 2. “The virus could have damaging effects” on Kim Jung-un’s dictatorship, Maxwell said. If it does, and that leads to conflict within North Korea or between it and South Korea, the consequences would be global, he warned. A senior fellow at the
