Far more than one person. It’s an actual government, not a single-headed personality cult.
But the person with the greatest actual power is the CINC of the IRGC. The Revolutionary Guard has been consolidating economic, security, military, and legal power within itself for the last couple decades or so. The Ayatollahs answer to it, not the other way around.
Netanyahu isn’t going to stop bombing. MBS isn’t going to accept Iranian hegemony. Plenty of people furious about paying Iran tolls for shipping have already and will in the future bribe Trump. Trump is psychologically incapable of adhering to an agreement. Hegseth wants his Holy War.
This shit ain’t over. We’ve suffered a humiliating defeat, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t even more humiliating defeats awaiting us in the future.
It’s not just a sex jet, it’s a sex jet used by Noem and Lewandowski. Don’t set foot on that thing until a crew of professionals in HAZMAT suits has sterilized every surface.
Never, ever, ever. Nor direct the money to purchased ads on Trump Global Media. LLC. Or take a commission on all donations. Or just pay for his hamberfers.
There are apparently at least two, and neither knows what the other is doing. I tend to believe the IGRC commander holds the de facto winning hand, but I’m not sure of that at all,
Isreal stopping its bombing of Lebanon was part of Iran’s 10 point plan. So was the US leaving the Middle East. And Iran continuing its nuclear program. Plus control of the strait of Hormuz.
For once Trump is being honest. This is the real reason for his war. The military industrial complex, oil companies, and Trump’s family will make a fortune. The rest of us will pay for all of this. Just like Trump’s god intended.
So at least 3 countries have a veto on this “deal.” US, Iran, Israel. What are the odds that those 3 will align permanently on a deal?
And…Trump. His sick diseased ego is calling the shots, and what it wants, moment to moment, day to day, is impossible to predict. Well, not impossible. He is highly likely to want to throw around more apocalyptic threats. Look at how well that worked this time! The whole world was holding its breath and wondering, what will Trump do?
I ask, because so many “top men”, “number two men”, who knows how far down the ranks, have been killed by the Israel/US targeting. It’s ripe for the rise of multiple factions.
