Key Notes
prediction
Jiang predicts Iran will not launch a conventional ground offensive because that would expose it to overwhelming American and Israeli air power, so Tehran will keep using a hide-and-seek guerrilla strategy instead.

model
Iran's guerrilla strategy is hide-and-seek: absorb bombing in mountains, then create recurring economic damage and fear through drones and rockets until America is tempted into invasion.
diagnosis
Jiang argues that even if Marines score an early success, America lacks a long-term strategy for holding territory against Iran's prepared drone, missile, and guerrilla-like asymmetric war.
model
Jiang argues Trump does not want a full invasion because Venezuela's jungles and mountains favor guerrilla warfare and because an overt invasion would anger allied and neutral states across Latin America.
model
He adds that Venezuela's mountain terrain would produce guerrilla warfare, American casualties, and a domestic political revolt, making any sustained US military operation there politically unsustainable.

prediction
Jiang predicts that a US invasion of Iran could seize substantial territory and suppress air defenses quickly, but would then run into a fatal logistics problem once Iranian guerrilla warfare and drone strikes begin hitting stretched American supply lines.
