Key Notes
Jiang argues that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard wants war with the United States because of U.S. support for the Shah, protection of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Trump's killing of Qasem Soleimani.
Jiang contrasts Raisi's case with the killing of Soleimani, Israeli assassinations of nuclear scientists, and the April 2024 Damascus strike, where he says the motive was clearer.
Jiang suspects that politicians such as Raisi urged patience and restraint after Soleimani's killing and the April 2024 Damascus strike, while the IRGC wanted vengeance and war.
