I'll skip the metaphysical implications to give you the short and simple answer.
The United States of America (specifically, the Trump Administration) is preparing for a war with the People's Republic of China. The US can't defeat the PRC in a direct confrontation. So what Trump is trying to do is secure total control over global trade so that China can be cut off economically from the outside. The IRGC is both an obstacle to that strategy and a test-run of its feasibility.
This is largely a geographic coincidence resulting from the USA's financial dependence on Taiwanese semiconductors, with the IRGC's record on human rights being a post-hoc rationalization.
The longer answer is that Bitcoin facilitates a separation of economy and state that has been practically inconceivable for most of human history, and it speaks to the heart of a certain cultural strain within the US that views making money as a moral imperative. What we're witnessing is the geopolitical equivalent of a man selling his house and taking out as many loans and personal favors as possible to buy the dip. Or perhaps, someone who has already done so, and is now resorting to bank robbery after the dip kept dipping.
Oh, okay. But in the first comment, you didn't mention these things at all, and you were talking about cheap drones and things like that. Let's move on. I agree with what was said in your second comment.
Because that's what determines the outcome of the war, the regime's economic viability. Since militarily they're pretty much done.
Can you tell me exactly what you mean by diet?
Meaning the government is dependent on outside funding to enforce its laws and direct its military. Or at least that's the bet that Trump is making.
The assumption is that if Iran is economically isolated from the rest of the world, the IRGC will collapse. "Collapse" is perhaps too broad. Let's say, they would have to rely on voluntary compliance as it becomes increasingly difficult to pay soldiers and police.
The US itself is undergoing a similar economic crisis, but it's being mitigated with Venezuelan oil, and for now the bulk of the consequences are being inflicted on the opposition party.
What you mean is that if Trump continues the naval blockade, Iran will not be able to pay the salaries of the military forces (the Corps is not all military forces in Iran, there are the army, the police force, and the Corps, each of which has a specific task) and they will abandon their duties. And Iran will surrender to Trump's demands at that time? I hope I misunderstood what you meant, but if you say what I said and you really believe this is the reality of the field, it is very sad because you do not have a good understanding of the situation.
This is a turn-based game. Whether to surrender or not is their decision. The US isn't engaging with fixed expectations regarding how the government and various factions within Iran react to the blockade, or how other countries react to the threat of sanctions, however predictable they may be. Someone said "Death to America," so we attack, they choose not to surrender, so we try applying economic sanctions instead, then China violates the sanctions, so now we have to sanction China. It's an antihistorical reality-TV approach to conflict.
Can you please explain everything to me a little more clearly, what do you mean by us, exactly when will the people in this group that you are talking about fit in, then another question, which committee and power do you want from which power do you want to take it from which government and hand it over to which people so that everything will be fixed and the problems? You said what exactly do you mean because I am Iranian and we were sitting in our homes in Iran, as per the routine of the past 50 years that Americans, of course, I must correct American politicians and American and Israeli statesmen. It is a trick to pretend that everything is going well and is moving forward according to plan... If you meant that Iran is a dictatorship and is hurting the economy and the lives of the people of the world, I really hope you will see and understand the developments and realities with more open eyes.
