It sounds like there are 3 entities that Trump is communicating with. The remaining politicians; the IRCG and the military. We are waiting for the military to take out the other two. I am sure we have the deal that we want with the military/alternative government. We may have to give them a hand, but Trump wants them to do it on their own.
The Artesh, Iran's conscript military, are basically powerless other than having some basic weapons. The mullahs never have trusted the Artesh so the IRGC is there to protect the regime and they are the real military power in Iran. Therefore, the Artesh has been very limited as to what weapons and supplies they actually have access to. Only those provinces that are extremely loyal to the IRGC and the ruling mullahs have some degree of strength - but it is highly controlled.
There have been defections and desertions in the Artesh, and like the people of Iran, supposedly they are waiting to take action when called to do so by the Crown Prince. Trump knows what is taking place but he publicly needs to keep his distance so it doesn't appear like he is involved. You are right in that the people of Iran must do this themselves - with support from the US and Israel. We will see in due time what level of support the people have from the Artesh. Many of them at this point I believe are not getting paid and have left their posts and gone home.
Even the government officials have never really held the reins of power. They are only the face of the Republic to show to the people and the world some form of government apparatus. The IRGC, although running the show at the moment, do not want to be involved in direct negotiations for fear of becoming a target. So they send the government lackeys to do their bidding. But even though those lackeys prefer to make a deal, they are still just as hardline as the IRGC and know their days are numbered. The people see no difference between the two. I am surprised that Araghchi has not defected unless he is so surrounded by IRGC members when he travels that it makes defection nearly impossible.
The only goal of the regime at this point is survival. They know if they give up any ground to Trump they will lose the support of their base, which is already showing signs of fracture. Their own propaganda has backed them into a corner they cannot get themselves out of. If the base turns on them that base could join forces with the rest of the Iranian people, the majority, along with the Artesh. The regime is terrified of another uprising. So they have brought in foreign militias from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria, to control the people. When their own IRGC forces, the Basij, the Artesh, and the rest of the people are not getting paid, the only ones left will be the militias that will have no reservations about slaughtering Iranians - as long as they are paid to do so. Their only loyalty is to the money.
I heard that No Korea has sent Iran counterfeit dollars via the northern China/Iran rail corridor since all the rest of their financial pipelines to get their hands on real dollars have been slowly shut down. Probably so they can continue to pay their protection forces. This rail corridor had sections of it bombed by the Israelis. But China managed to repair those bombed sections within a few days during the ceasefire so they can continue to send Iran supplies. Trump's blockade and Treasury together are inflicting more damage on the regime than what the bombs did. Brilliant!
You are most welcome fren. I stay pretty informed when it comes to geopolitical happenings, especially when it involves the CCP and their proxies - that would include Iran, Russia, and No Korea. You can learn a great deal actually listening to people with connections inside these countries instead of the talking heads promoted by MSM who usually headline the official government propaganda. Trump is putting the squeeze to all of them and their economies are failing which then leads to fracturing within the government. It's an amazing thing to watch Trump and his team in action.
I would expect to see panic within their proxy networks here inside the US also take a hit due to the strained finances and the dismantling of the CCP's shadow banking networks that fund them. Dems loosing their funding resources which cause them to double down on fraud here in the US. Trump and company are waiting for them to expose themselves. Trump is operating a massive global smackdown.
Outstanding. I had a great friend that that gave me great scoop on China but he passed away due to cancer. I have an unusual collection of friends and friends of friends that give me tidbits on quite a bit of stuff and I fill in the rest. I look forward to your posts.
You are most welcome fren. I usually only post when I have something to add to the information since I am probably more informed about these topics than most. Been a CCP watcher for years and was sounding the alarm bell about the CCP decades ago when they came into the WTO. Everyone thought I was nuts. Trump has been sounding the same alarm bell about the same length of time and no one listened to him either. Some are still not taking it seriously.
As far as Iran, I know Iranians and some of the people I follow are closely connected to anti-regime people inside and outside Iran that are strategizing actual actions against the regime. The same applies to Russia. The only one that is even more of a black box than the CCP is No Korea. Very few know what the hell is going on there and even if they do, it's not much. Kim is like Trump and uses a lot of strategic ambiguity. I think they understand each other.
I know some people with an Iranian fatwa on them. If they go back to Iran they will be arrested and killed - especially those that are Christian. I know one Iranian couple that became Christians, and when they were baptized, the congregation was given strict instructions not to post any pics of them on social media as it could endanger their family still in Iran - some of them also Christian. Most of the Iranians I know are actively involved in Iranian diaspora movements to support the revolution despite the risks. It is that important to them and they understand that they need to seize this moment.
There are a couple of Russian people I know where things are similar. It is a crime in Russia to speak against Putin or the war. They are speaking the truth about what is happening inside Russia and the truth about the real state of the war - what is not being told officially to the Russian people. The situation in Russia is a far cry from the white prosperous utopia that Russian propaganda promotes in the West, especially in conservative circles. As long as Putin is in control, these people will never be able to return to Russia. They could end up thrown out of a window or disappeared. Random car explosions is another favorite method of silencing. But, even pro-Putin Russians within the country and oligarchs are starting to ask questions going on 5 years of war, the tanked economy, the control crackdowns, and increased censorship. Discontent is rising.
I also know people that managed to get out of China while they still could. Lately it has gotten much harder to get out of the country, especially since the beginning of the year. The CCP is confiscating passports. Not just of officials, which they started doing last year, but also regular ordinary citizens. Anyone that works for any kind of SOE or government job have had their passports taken - for safe keeping. To travel outside of the country they have to apply for permission to travel. They have to submit all kinds of intrusive documents in advance to get their passport back. To add to the difficulty, if the person given the passport ends up not coming back to China, the one that gave the approval will be held responsible. So what do you think the odds are of the bulk of those applications to travel being approved?
One of the hallmarks of failing authoritarian regimes is increased crackdowns on the freedoms of their citizens. When things are failing and leadership is afraid of losing control, the pressure is increased and life becomes more draconian and unbearable. We are seeing this unfold in China, Iran, and Russia.
We are witnessing a spiritual battle between God and Satan being fought in the physical realm. In Daniel 10 the messenger from God was sent to deliver a message to Daniel and was delayed for 21 days by the prince of Persia and Archangel Michael comes to assist.
The prince of Persia is real and has had a death grip on that region since the fall. Trump was put here by God himself for this moment. God has protected this man from 3 (or 4) attempts on his life. Slander, lies, lawfare, impeachments, all failed. That’s not a coincidence. I trust Trump because I trust God,

And of course, the comments are full of TDS as usual. Same on John Kennedy's post where he says the America has Iran by the Ying-Yang 😂
