My Mint plant is dying

TLDR; My mint is dying i added a few pictures of how it looked at
first and how it looks now .. i also think at some point it had spider
mits .. but not sure ..

Hello, I've gotten interested in growing something in my balcony so i thought I'd start with mints and basil.

I got mint as a plant not as a seed and it looked like a healthy
plant at first.. but when i got it the pot broke .. so i had to move the
plant to a different pot .. the structure of the soil was consistent so
i didn't have any problems there .. and the roots were all over the
soil surrounding it.

after a few days i started to notice that it started feeling sad and dying

at first there was some kind of grass so i thought i should remove those in case they were hurting the planets

Later on i've noticed some webs around some leaves and after
searching online found out that it could be spider mites ( and i did
find one under the leave) .. but i cleaned it .. and it doesn't seem to
exist any more for a few days .. but the plant still dying

some picture of the plant .. sorry about the quality i was taking
these for the sake of adding filters and posting it online on :D

here how it looked when i first got it

after a few days .. everything is good so far i guess

i think i have removed the grass in this one .. but there is its root
down there on the down left .. i removed it later in the one after it

and here is how it looks now


it may appear okay in the pictures but alot of the leaves are damaged
.. some of them even blacked out and died ..my family insists on me
being paranoid ..

so am i paranoid or is there something wrong with it .. and if so .. what is it ?

ps : i don't think i'm over watering it .. because everytime i water
it .. the water drains from the bottom of the pot .. i thought i might
be underwatering it .. not sure ..I live in Egypt and it's about 26 C

Not sure if this the right place to post this .. if not please link me to the right forum.
