Trump Bet Iran Would Revolt After Khamenei's Death. It Never Did.
ποΈ UPRISING β Trump bet Iranians would revolt after Khamenei died. Wrong. π LOOK CLOSER: Washington's regime-change logic was baked into the strike: kill Khamenei, trigger popular revolt, exit without a deal. No revolt came. That miscalculation is why Trump needs the MOU β not as strategy but as exit from a war whose political premise collapsed. Iran's negotiators know this. It explains the upfront asset release and sanctions concessions.
