So I show that to you because when Donald Trump's like, they're crushed, they don't have weapons, they don't have anything, they don't have leadership.
Not only do they have leadership, they have leadership that are trolling you with memes right now.
Not only that, you have, for example, Ali Larajani, who the Trump regime and Netanyahu killed recently, replaced by...
A more extreme person, Ali Larrajani, very extreme person, let's be very clear about that, was very much involved in massacring protesters in January where Trump promised that he would save the protesters and lied and got them massacred.
We should never forget Donald Trump's great betrayal of actually the democracy protesters.
Since Donald Trump betrayed them, they're not coming out.
Why would they come out?
especially if Donald Trump's talking about doing joint venture agreements with the Ayatollah or working with the Islamic Republic.
If that's ultimately the endgame here was a much stronger Iran and a weaker United States, that's what the goal of all of this was right now?
But you have Mohammed Bagher Zagadar, who's now been appointed as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, replacing Lara Jani.
So you got a more extreme Lara Jani in the Lara Jani position.
And this is the case throughout the regime.
So sure, you killed a group of people who were in leadership.
Yeah, but they were replaced by more extreme leadership.
And now one of the things I think we're seeing as well is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the army itself, solidifying and forming a kind of army dictatorship that's asserting more power than it ever did before.
I mean, I know Donald Trump didn't study
iran's bifurcated leadership structure um but if you look at their leadership structure it's decentralized they frequently refer to it in iran as their mosaic architecture of defense meaning there's lots of different levels and layers
I guess, think a jigsaw puzzle of autonomous control with set targets already and set leadership structures and succession structures already kind of in place.
I don't want to necessarily compare it to like federalism in the United States.
But you have all of these kind of regional leaders within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and also within their kind of secret police domestic forces that are both empowered to kind of strike.
