Did Trump Secure a Secret Surrender from Iran’s Hardliners?
I argued weeks ago that the IRGC has effectively been sidelined and Iran quietly agreed to Trump’s terms. Hardliners still lurk in the mountains to maintain the appearance of resistance. Trump reportedly told Israel to spare two key negotiators, Abbas Araqchi and Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf. Those once-dominant generals have vanished from public view as Iran slowly transitions away from hardline rule. According to this account, Iran’s leadership surrendered in secret to avoid an internal uprising. Gulf states are ready to recognise a new government in Tehran, and released funds may be spent on American food. Oil prices have already fallen from $79 to $70 since before the conflict. If this scenario is real, Trump has outplayed both Iran’s hardliners and his political rivals. Time will tell if a lasting peace follows these back-room maneuvers.
