Iran: Donald Trump Attempts to Rely on Ethnic Mosaic to Overthrow the Mullahs
The article discusses Donald Trump's strategy of leveraging Iran's ethnic diversity to weaken the current regime led by the mullahs without deploying ground troops.
The report from Le Figaro analyzes the emerging strategy of Donald Trump and the American-Israeli coalition in the ongoing tensions with Iran. With the regime of the mullahs showing remarkable resilience despite the loss of its 'supreme leader', there is increasing interest in how to topple this entrenched government without a ground invasion. The solution being considered involves empowering Iran's diverse ethnic minorities, which could serve as a catalyst for internal division and resistance against the ruling authority.
The article draws parallels with previous US military interventions, particularly highlighting the successes seen in neighboring Afghanistan in 2001, where the Northern Alliance played a crucial role in overturning the Taliban regime. Similarly, in Iraq, Kurdish forces provided significant support to the US military efforts in 2003. Such historical references frame the current strategy as a calculated approach to leverage local dynamics and create an insurrection against the Tehran regime.
Finally, the report indicates that according to CNN, the CIA is already collaborating with Kurdish forces in Iran to incite a popular uprising against the current government. This suggests a strategic shift towards a more indirect method of confrontation, aiming to weaken the mullahs' grip on power by fostering unrest among minority groups, which may lead to a prolonged state of instability within the region and further complicate the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
