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 tell me exactly what you mean by diet?
