it would seem like kushner is talking with the shah, who is the "respected iranian leader" trump is talking about.

i don't support putting the shah back in power, but this was predictable enough. if trump can't get a good stooge in the regime, he'll parachute one in.

my solidarity remains with the resistance groups on the ground, and the same logic about timelines applies to them. iran is done. now, it's a race against time as to who can get in there first.

- the chinese, with lingering regime support

- the iranian resistance, which is lead by the kurds, with israeli tactical support

- the americans, via the shah, and likely with arab troops and a small american marine force

that's what is developing.

all.

set.

go!
