Key Notes
evidence
Jiang cites alleged false-flag operations in Saudi, Qatar, and Azerbaijan as evidence that Israeli actors are trying to spread the war across the region.
prediction
Jiang says a U.S. ground invasion would likely attack Iran from multiple vectors including Pakistan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan while trying to seize Hormuz quickly.
diagnosis
Jiang says the Kurdish proxy route has already been dropped and that even other possible regional auxiliaries are hesitant because the war looks unwinnable and strategically incoherent.
evidence
He presents reported attacks on Azerbaijan and Saudi facilities as likely Israeli false flags designed to widen the war and pull more GCC actors in against Iran.
diagnosis
The three main proxy vectors Jiang identifies are Kurds, Azerbaijanis, and Balochs, but he says none of them is likely to fight as obedient American or Israeli ground forces.

model
