Nima Alkhorshid, Host of Dialogue Works, watched Iran prepare for this war for two decades through his sources and nothing that happened surprised him.
Israel sold Trump a Venezuela-Syria combo play, topple the regime in 4 days, control the Strait, reclaim U.S. dominance.
Trump believed it, tweeted total capitulation from Tehran, promised to pick the next Supreme Leader himself.
Then it lasted 40 days and the house of cards was theirs, not Iran's.
Mojtaba is more experienced than anyone admits, 10 years running things behind his father, and Nima thinks he ends up more powerful than Ali ever was.
But the ceiling on any deal isn't Trump, it's Congress, and that wall doesn't move in 2 years
Israel's window to change this is closing and they don't seem to see it.
