Why military escalation and institutional dissolution operate on different timelines — and why that distinction matters for Iran, the IRGC, and regional stability.
That you could and cared to respond so rapidly to the quickly evolving situation in Iran in such thoughtful and perceptive detail is nothing short of remarkable, Erika. Your expertise and insights into global affairs is stunning and thought-provoking - especially to an "outsider" such as myself. We live in a world seemingly always teetering on the edge of upheaval and geopolitical intrigue and having you as an expert guide makes the complicated "journey" more easily understood -albeit no less scary, at times! Thank you for your remarkable work.
