Bouvard on Trump, Iran, and Regime Dissolution

By Dennis Bouvard

Plain text

Any assessment of whatever deal (if any) Trump signs also has to be an assessment of what, exactly, remains of the Islamic Republic at this point, and I don't see how anyone without high level intelligence (and maybe even them) can know that. Is there an entity that can keep the

deal or will have any reason to; on the other hand, is making a deal likely to accelerate the further fracturing, weakening and maybe dissolution of whatever remains of the Islamic Republlc?

The real criterion is the regime, i.e., sovereignty, since the same regime will end up setting off on the same path, but the best way to unravel the regime is part of what's in question. Any deal will just reset things.

Of course, maybe there is no deal and this is more gamesmenship, maybe on both sides. But in that case as well the only real question remains, who runs Iran? In the end it will be resolved.
