Key Notes
prediction
Jiang predicts that if the war drags on, economic strain will turn global opinion and even Russia and China against Iran while U.S.-Israeli strategy grows more coherent.
diagnosis
Jiang argues Iran needs world attention to remain on Gaza because outrage over Gaza will make global opinion more sympathetic toward Iran over time.
diagnosis
Jiang argues Operation True Promise was designed to satisfy all four matrix goals: show Iranians that Iran can strike back, signal willingness to fight to allies and major powers, preserve global opinion by avoiding casualties, and provoke tension between Israel and the United States.
