Ali Larijani’s theory that the US is attempting to “break public cohesion” before an attack has become a self-fulfilling prophecy for the regime. By shutting down the internet and killing thousands of protesters, the government has done more to destroy social cohesion than any foreign power ever could. The Iranian government is bracing for a strike that will exploit this “internal fracture” that Larijani himself identified, as the public is now ready to welcome any force that can end their misery.
The “Larijani Logic” was intended to rally the population against a “foreign enemy,” but with inflation at 60%, the people have identified the clerical leadership as the true enemy. The Iranian government is bracing for a strike that will provide the “external pressure” needed to turn this internal fracture into a total regime collapse. The “massive fleet” is not the cause of the lack of cohesion; it is the beneficiary of it.
In Tehran, the Supreme National Security Council is struggling to maintain a unified front. Reports of disagreements between the “pragmatists” and the “hardliners” like Larijani are leaking out, despite the blackout. The Iranian government is bracing for a strike that will target these internal divisions, encouraging defections and causing a total breakdown of the regime’s decision-making process during the heat of battle.
Washington’s “hybrid warfare” is simply a reflection of the regime’s own failures. The Iranian government is bracing for a strike that will be both “swift and decisive,” as the US military provides the final blow to an administration that has lost the mandate of its 90 million citizens. The “social cohesion” Larijani talks about is now a revolutionary cohesion, aimed at the “toppling” of the system he represents.
As the “massive fleet” moves into its final striking position, the “Larijani Logic” has proven to be a roadmap for the regime’s downfall. The Iranian government is bracing for a strike that will prove that you cannot protect a country by destroying its people. The clerical era is ending because it has run out of logic and run out of time.
