How Iran Plans to Pressure Donald Trump: New Strategic Details

We are publishing for the first time details regarding the new strategic program of the Iranian regime. According to information received from a source close to the Revolutionary Guards, this is a two-stage plan signaling a transition from a policy of absorption and defense to active attack. The shift in direction follows the realization in Tehran that the American siege is effective and that Donald Trump is not rushing to reach an agreement.

In the first stage, Iran intends to strike energy and civilian infrastructure in the Gulf states. The rationale is simple: if the siege causes pain to Iran, its neighbors must also pay a price. Tehran hopes that the damage to the economy and daily life in the Gulf will compel regional countries to pressure Donald Trump into easing the blockade and changing course.

The second and more dangerous stage will be activated if the first fails: significant attacks against American bases in the region, intended not merely as a message, but to inflict heavy damage and kill American soldiers. Regarding potential American targets in Europe, the source notes that such an attack would likely be carried out by one of Iran's proxies.

Currently, the plan does not include attacks against Israel. However, Tehran understands that any escalation against the United States and the Gulf states could draw Israel into the conflict, and there is no certainty that it would remain on the sidelines if the confrontation expands.

Simultaneously, the Iranian leadership is aware that inflation, financial shortages, unemployment, and public anger are becoming a threat to the regime. There is a fear that the desperate public will turn its anger inward. Consequently, some within the regime believe that escalation with the USA could serve their interests: by triggering an American response, they hope to transform the economic crisis into a national war that unites the people against an external enemy.
