Iran on the edge: the economy collapses, the top echelon splits, and the fear of the US grows

An analytical report on a severe economic and political crisis in Iran, which is also penetrating the ranks of the Revolutionary Guards. Officers are forced to take on additional jobs, and voices in the top echelon are calling for an early attack against the US before the midterm elections, in order to pressure Trump and survive.

An analytical report details a severe economic and political crisis in Iran, penetrating deep into the Revolutionary Guards. Mid-level and senior officers are forced to take on additional jobs to survive, a sign of the depth of the economic collapse. In the security top echelon, under the command of Ahmad Vahidi (commander of the Revolutionary Guards) and Hossein Taab (commander of the Basij), growing voices are heard calling for an early military move against the US and heating up the region in the next three weeks. The logic presented: since the Americans intend to attack Iranian oil infrastructure after the midterm elections, it is better to strike first, shock the oil markets, and pressure Trump just before the elections. The goal is not an all-out war, but to scare Trump into returning to the agreement. Meanwhile, power struggles in the top echelon are pushing President Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Araghchi, and Parliament Speaker Qalibaf to the margins. The report emphasizes that the regime's goal now is not nuclear or missiles, but the survival of the regime itself, at almost any cost. The Iranian economy, according to the report, is not on the way to collapse – it has already collapsed.
