Key Notes
Jiang believes Putin would not tolerate nuclear weapons being used against Iran and has likely conveyed that through back channels, even if not publicly.
Jiang says nuclear weapons are unlikely to be used because the first user would incur permanent global contempt and because active back-channel negotiations continue even between hostile states.
Jiang says that even when Russia and the United States are effectively at war, they still maintain extensive backdoor communication, so nuclear weapons should not be treated as a decisive factor over the next ten years.
Jiang argues that constant back-channel communication and third-party intermediaries are actively controlling the parameters of the war so that escalation stays below the nuclear threshold.
