Incredibly unlikely. Maybe, maybe not.

Hard to say. He seems to be unusually in love with life, for a dedicated martyr.

Pezeshkian is fairly powerless within Iran, and was completely marginalized by all the folks who had actual power. There's virtually no chance that he's stepping into the big chair, and certainly not if he's going to be a puppet of Mossad.


Welp, right now the Head Chair and the next 200 chairs are...empty. Somebody has to.

None. We've done some things without dropping bombs

Oh, so we *are* using Smart Soft Power and Diplomacy to say, talk Panama into throwing China off of both ends of the Panama canal. That's good.

That doesn't make the big thing that we're doing right now, which involves tens of billions of dollars of dropping bombs, any smarter.

Right. Instead, we should spend 10s of billions of dollars on completely defensive operations in the Red Sea, never doing anything about the people shooting the missiles or the people handing them the missiles to shoot at us with. Just...sit there on the calm waters of the Red Sea and pray nobody makes a mistake.

Great stragery!

Whereas China puts a few billion dollars into Peru, builds the most advanced deepwater seaport, and reorients almost the entire South American economy in their direction.

And when, pray tell, did this start? Yesterday? No. They've been doing their Long March through the Americas and everywhere else they can ruthlessly exploit for 20 years+ now. We've been allowing them to.
