🇮🇷🇺🇸 Netanyahu may be trying to drag Trump into another war with Iran, and that could be exactly what Tehran’s hardliners want. Political analyst Ali Alizadeh says Iran is deeply divided internally between factions still hoping for accommodation with the West and those pushing toward a much deeper economic and strategic realignment with China and Russia. But during the 40-day war, those divisions largely disappeared. Factional fighting subsided, the currency remained relatively stable and an existential external threat forced competing elements of the Iranian state to unite. While Trump's pressure campaign hurts Iran, a return to war may actually help fix it. Ali believes another attack could once again unite the political factions, force Tehran to confront its oligarchs, and accelerate the economic shift toward China and Russia that parts of the Iranian establishment have resisted for years. So he believes Washington faces a strange strategic dilemma: The most effective way to weaken Iran may be to keep squeezing it without attacking. Because the moment the bombs start falling, Iran stops fighting itself and starts fighting you.
