Source refs: `video:interview-jlejlzmum4g@transcript:v1#seg-0135` - model: Alexander says any impression that the attacks have slowed likely reflects better Russian success in countering them rather than a change in policy or direction by the Zelensky government. Source refs: `video:interview-jlejlzmum4g@transcript:v1#seg-0163`, `video:interview-jlejlzmum4g@transcript:v1#seg-0164` - model: Jiang says the 12-day war taught Iran enough about Israeli and American methods that Tehran can now game-theory the next round and build better countermeasures.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
