Trump’s Genius Iran Strategy - A 360 American Victory

At first glance, it might look like the Ayatollahs have weathered the storm. The massive demonstrations have dwindled, and the revolutionary spirit on the streets of Iran seems to have faded. But behind the sudden silence, a different reality is taking shape, one that bears the fingerprints of a distinctively brilliant strategy.

President Trump has achieved a significant, albeit temporary, victory.

He has secured the operational freedom to destabilize the regime from within, all while American sanctions continue to choke the IRGC economy slowly but surely to death.

Hence why the current renewed calmness is deceptive. Given that the economic strangulation is cumulative - the regime has no way but to face an eventual renewal of destabilizing protests.

But, when the next wave will come - it will be far more dangerous for the Mullahs. For by than it will be at a point where the regime has given up its "mandate to kill".

Hence now, that the regime gave that mandate up, and without any sanctions being lifted!

This means, that while the incentive to demonstrate remains (civil oppression and economic catastrophe) the political and international capital required to suppress the population - has already been stripped by Trump's tweets...

The explosive potential is still building, driven by hyperinflation and imminent financial collapse. Yet now, let's see them fire at the crowds as Trump is using this quiet period of temporary quiet to prepare a military option and to consolidate allies.

The US President has committed to a clear three-pronged doctrine:

* Relentless Economic Pressure: A siege that does not lift.

* Internal Destabilization: Keeping the door open for regime shock.

* Military Consolidation: Grouping forces for a potential strike.

True, the price for this strategy was the temporary cooling of the protest momentum.

But that momentum is destined to return as the economic noose tightens, the US military pressure builds, the Iranians can't shot freely at their people any longer, and thus the price the ayatollahs will be willing to pay to keep their regime will only rise.

Trump is a genius.

The Witkoff Factor & The Ultimate Question

In the meantime, this is the best time for Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to position his demands at dismantling Iran’s regional leverage once and for all.

A reduction in missile stockpiles, the destruction of enriched uranium, and the cessation of support for proxy militias.

By defining the boundaries of Iran's economy and its ability to project power, the United States is effectively containing the regime in a weakened state, a scenario that may actually serve long term US interests, which are not necessarily aligned solely with toppling the regime.

Furthermore, this approach opens the road to a gradual inner shift within Iran.

The critical question stands: How much does Donald Trump actually want to topple the regime?

It appears the regime’s survival remains, ironically, in its own hands. If Tehran agrees to surrender its nuclear program and ballistic capabilities, Trump may accept a defanged dictatorship over a revolution.

However, the strategy ensures that when the inevitable implosion comes again, the regime facing it will be a shadow of its former self.

If the Iranians refuse this deal, they are just prolonging their coming end.
