Key Notes
The Ayatollah's imagined mission is to lure the United States into Iran and kill the great Satan, thereby freeing his people and saving the world.
Jiang defines Iran's president as more like the country's CEO while the Ayatollah is the real sovereign authority, representing God and the Quran and holding ultimate veto power.
Jiang defines the regular military as responsible for protecting the nation, while the IRGC protects the revolution and the Ayatollah and exports the revolution abroad.
