He answers Celine that Trump's anti-war campaign image does not rule out war with Iran because campaign promises differ from presidential action, Trump has signaled stronger support for Israel, and pro-Israel donors are aligning with him.
Jiang argues that pro-Israel donors backing Trump likely want an anti-Iran cabinet and possibly Nikki Haley as vice president.
Jiang argues that donors kept Haley visible in the Republican primary, including by helping her raise more money than Trump and remain a vote-getter after dropping out, to position her as Trump's vice president.
Jiang says the political and covert preconditions for an Iran attack are already being assembled through donor pressure, internal unrest, covert operations, and economic strain.
