The escalating rhetoric from both leaders comes as the U.S. has sent a carrier strike group and air defense systems to the Middle East.

Donald Trump said Sunday that if Iran does not make a deal regarding its nuclear program, "we’ll find out” whether Iran’s supreme leader was correct to predict that a U.S. attack on the country would spark a regional war.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Sunday remarks on a potential war come as Trump has weighed military action against Iran in response to the country’s nuclear ambitions and the government’s bloody crackdown on protesters.

What he did in his first term caused Iran align with Russia and help them with war in Ukraine.

This is his primary objective. This is why he also didn’t help protesters. He absolutely doesn’t want overthrow Russia friendly government.

Same with Venezuela (goal there was to force China to buy Russian oil)

Let’s just hope it’s one of the last few bites of the empire before all it can do is bark. These days seem to be a big turning point for Western imperialism, the future is both hopeful and scary.

Withdrawal the nuclear deal with Iran in first term. Threaten Iran for not coming to the negotiating table for nuclear deal in 2nd term.

Art of the deal

If he pulls a Maduro on Khomeini that would be fucking hilarious. But like in Venezuela, he’d likely leave the existing power base in place, which is a lot less funny.

The thing is with Venezuela the line of succession was clear and the State was unified.

With Iran from what I understand there isn’t a clear successor as the original figure died in a helicopter crash. And in terms of Unity although the State looks to be working there are reports of tension between the IRGC and the Regular Military.

Not to mention the Iranian Protest movement is looking to remove the current State and have it replaced with something else (with an obvious Monarchist Faction in the movement.) meanwhile for Venezuela it’s opposition movement is ostensibly in exile
